In my opinion, there is too much gray area with some of the rules, and that leaves the rulings on them open to subjectivity.  It's human nature for people to be give the benefit of the doubt to the more popular/successful choice when it comes to being subjective.  Also, you don't really know if these guys are fans of certain franchises, and if that comes into play subconsciously. The officiating has gotten worse over the years across the league as well.

As for NFL bias, I have no doubt that good ol' Rog has a love fest with the Rooneys.  I mean, they delivered the news personally to his room when he was named commish, and he and ol man Rooney shared some tears and hugs.....and maybe more.  They hand picked him FFS.  Where you see the bias is in suspensions and fines.....or lack thereof......and not so much on the field.  For instance, how in the hell was Mike Munchak's fine rescinded for pulling Reggie Nelson's hair?  He did it on national TV FFS!  No fine on Shazier helmet to helmet, no fine on Jerry Porter (or rescinded too, don't remember).  That's just from one game, with one team.  It's pretty obvious to anyone being objective about it.
