And no one will convince me otherwise until they can explain to me how Adam Jones gets a penalty for going after Joey Porter in a Bengals huddle, and Porter gets no flag for being on the field, let alone in the Bengals huddle. If the refs didn't see Porter in the huddle or on the field, then they didn't see Jones go after him, right? I don't believe every game is fixed, but the NFL is influencing certain games so certain teams win to line their pockets, whether that is by assigning refs with certain tendencies, o67r outright telling certain refs who should win. Anyone who can't see that is blind. It only takes a few calls in certain critical moments. Then, the refs can throw meaningless flags to show the game was called "fair by looking at the overall number of penalties called against each team.
By this very argument you have to conclude that the league is fixed since referees are employed by the league and nobody else. They aren't rogue refs or rogue refs would regularly get fired and there would be a big stink over that. You don't hear much about this issue so the only logical conclusion is what they're instructed to do by the league. We don't even see many fouls that are called and some are so ticky tacky while others are completely ignored throughout entire games for certain teams. You DO hear a LOT about that..
