Now they are controlling outcomes with this bull**** taunting flag. Roger has destroyed the N.F.L and needs to get robbed or at least a good beat down.

There have been horrible calls forever. Social media has brought it to the forefront. The changes in the rules to enforce safety have also been a factor in recent years. Half the refs have no clue how to enforce them correctly. Sports betting has nothing to do with it. It is in the gambling industries best interest to have the games be completely above board. Manipulation hurts their bottom line and lack of integrity could destroy their NFL cash cow.

Don't forget that it was the gambling industry that discovered NBA ref Tim Donaghy was influencing games back in 2006 or so and reported him to the FBI.

Hard to believe its not in the NFL or any other sport for that matter.

One of the most telling signs of that that no one will explain is how did Tampa Bay which is the most penalized team in the NFL or close to it, all of a sudden become one of the least penalized once Brady got settled in midway last season?

If we allow personal foul penalties to become judgemental, that opens the book for corruption.

Last week former NFL safety Solomon Wilcots told of something that happened to him during a game. There was a blatantly bad holding call on a teammate that was called by a particular official. He said he complained about the call to the officially and the ref got into it with him a bit. Later in the game the same ref called a phantom penalty on Wilcots which was obviously retaliation for questioning him earlier. Wilcots said this sort of thing happens all of the time. Certain refs have it out for certain players. Conversely, certain refs tend to favor certain players.

This has nothing to do with manipulating outcomes or some sort of conspiracy. This is pure and simply incompetent officiating.
