It's just frustrating that with all the technology we are still having judgement calls decide games.
This has been a long time running conspiracy, but the wording is what confuses people. It was used as legal maneuvering in a lawsuit, but does not pertain to the events occurring on the field. The NFL, if it were pre determining games, would have to play a disclaimer after every game saying the outcome of the games are predetermined. If a ref were to fix a game they are subject to the same punishments Donaghy faced as an NBA official who was fixing games. People get so caught up in this stuff, but lets be real if it was true some fun hating senator on capital hill would already be holding hearings to make a name for themselves.
