Now when there are big hits and no flags, theres talk about how the nfl isnt safe now. So many people just forget what they were complaining about in the past...
There has always been bad calls in any sport. We can live with that. Problem is with these refs, is that they are losing control of the game. Players treat them like substitute teachers. Sooner or later they will lose total control of a game and somebody will seriously hurt. Only then will the Owners(who control this whole situation) will bow down and finally address the issue.
