Losers
Us, The Viewers
Another week, another game ruined by “refball”. This has been a constant theme, week in, week out, Sunday, Monday, and Thursday, games being effected due to refs abusing their power and influence in a game with flaky calls, phantom interference calls, and anything stronger than a light breeze making contact with a quarterback roughing the passer. Gone are the days of memorable plays, remembering a game for a highlight play or a standout performance. Now, every week we’re left with a bad taste in our mouth, feeling dissatisfied and left feeling robbed. There’s seemingly only one team immune to it, but we’ll not get into it. I used to love watching football. I’d spend my entire Sunday watching football, multiple streams up, just kicking back and enjoying the NFL experience. Now, with me traveling for work, I struggle to find myself watching any football at all. Now Adam you may say, the Steelers won the game, shouldn’t you be happy? Well yes, I am happy the Steelers won, but that doesn’t diffuse the point here. The refs continue to have an enormous impact on almost every single game. I feel like we may start to see a decline in viewership if this continues.
