This brings up another point I’ve made with friends. There apparently is no consistency with rules as far as what cameras are required at any given game and what camera views can be used to determine replays. We are talking about a league that will fine players if they have uniform infractions. Yet this same league, that is worth billions, cannot come to a basic understanding of and fit the bill for camera usage standards for replay determination. It’s no secret that some games have more camera coverage than others. Hence they have more angles to determine replays. The fact that they have not even attempted to establish rules to govern this is just another indication that the NFL does not care if they get the calls right. It’s all about league promotion.
