Could We Crowdfund Private Investigators Against Corrupt NFL Referees?

Interesting idea, but, and you can call me a cynic, I think even if an official came forward and admitted to bias in his calls, the league would call it an isolated incident and move on.

The league doesn't care about public perception of the refs. They care about sponsorships and broadcast revenue.

You would have to have an organized effort by fans across the country to boycott sponsors and not watch games to have an effect. Most fans will look at this, call Saints fans crybabies and move on, even though other teams have been screwed as well.

Just my 2 cents.
