rocky_rams Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 The officiating this season has been a complete joke. So many phantom and head scratching calls. There is no rational explanation for them either. I watched the Pat McAfee show and saw disgraced NBA ref Tim Donaghey who spoke about how he would officiate in order to make money gambling for himself or the mob. For those who haven’t seen it, I recommend you check it out I’m sure the same or something similar is going on in the NFL where some refs are calling games because they are either betting on them or they are working with the mob. There is no other explanation for this irrational officiating we’ve been seeing recently. Professionals should not be this bad at their job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7DnBrnc53 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Some NFL officials may also be company men, like Richard "Big Market" Bavetta was for the NBA (he was one of the officials for that 2002 Game 6 WCF debacle). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. There is a difference between believing the NFL is rigged (aka “scripted” or corrupt at the foundation) and refs being corrupted (aka refs going rogue from an otherwise non-corrupt foundation). 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 There will always be multiple corrupt refs due to Vegas hence every sport is rigged to a degree. It always blows my mind how naive this forum is completely blowing it off like a conspiracy theory lol. I’ve been in the casino industry over a decade, I know what I’m talking about it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolts223 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I do think certain refs are corrupt for one reason or another. Whether it be money or just general disdain or preferences for certain teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conspiracy theorist: no. I think it's unfair to say individuals are corrupt even makes it a conspiracy. Conspiracy implies it involves a lot of people within the NFL working together to fix games. We are talking about individual corrupt refs going rogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
