There is no way, in my opinion, that this could have been the case of a ref not wanting to make a close call... Because it wasn't close. I mean, we see close calls missed, we see not so close calls missed. But this was obvious to the point that it would take extraordinary incompetence, or truly terrible eye sight to miss the call.
So I believe it is nefarious. I just don't think Gary Cavaletto playing minor league ball for the braves for three years, way back in the 70's, has anything to do with it.
What it looks like is ANOTHER horribly officiated NFL game. Regardless of reason the league has to take serious action. I’ve said it before - Officiating will drive more fans away than kneeling and CTS combined.
