They are not full-time and not really paid that great, so the temptation for them to bet on a game they can somewhat control has to be great. No one can tell me they legit missed that many facemasks on Burrow. It would be different if it were a running back or receiver having their mask grabbed, but you are not even allowed to touch a QB's head. No way you miss that. Yeah, they ignored them on purpose and I suspect it has to do with money.
Whenever there is a no-brainer that goes unaddressed, it’s almost always because someone(s) powerful wants it that way. Like 99.9% of the time.
That’s the case here. Why aren’t the refs full time? It’s not as if the league can’t afford it.
It’s because someone powerful wants it that way! Could be money. Could be control. I don’t live in their rotten skull, thank God.
Go Benton Panthers!!
