What’s with all of these jarring cuts? I can’t be the only one noticing this. If the NFL is copyrighting clips, keep the audio and change the visual. Why cut the whole audio off?
Wtf happens to this video about halfway thru? Editing goes all crazy and it becomes random out of order clips…
My dad has been saying it for as long as I can remember; Vegas always gets their way.
Refs slow the game down and diminish the experience. They should be removed and replaced with AI
I think people forget refs are humans who miss stuff and then take every mistake they can find completely them in a video and tell it’s rigged like no it’s not it’s human error shit happens theirs a penalty on every play in the nfl you could create 0-0 games every single game if you call every single thing
The weird cuts are messing with my head 😓
I always found it strange how many Italian referees are in the NFL.
Remember they always wait for NY to get back to them or vegas. Its all about sport bets.
Eagles ABSOLUTELY got robbed it wasn’t just that holding call. Devontae smiths catch WASNT called a catch and go back now and look at it.
It's NOT about the refs!!! And it really us egregious that they try to insert themselves as "players" that can affect the outcome in games! They should be FIRED if it is proven that they miss, or get a call wrong! The official and the head ref should be automatically fired…PERIOD!!! then maybe they'd have a reason to get it RIGHT!!!
As someone who’s officiated sports, I don’t understand why people make it so personal. I do believe there are many examples of rigging and obviously many mistakes. But why put a man’s life in danger for any of those reasons. So stupid.
Bro, we actually don’t care what happens to these refs in there personal lines. I’m not sure if you intended on making us feel sympathy for the refs, but they get none from me. They have one job, and they’ve allowed that job to become corrupted with bribes from sports books, aka sports banks.
The fact that the NFL actually is sponsored by gambling should be the biggest proof that the NFL is rigged
18:21 wait wtf are you talking about. This video is sponsored by fan duel. Bro said earlier in the video that refs have been approached by sports books in trying to change the game outcome, then says that there is no evidence of games being rigged. Are you stupid my guy?
Dude got called in for a substitute job and if ruined his life. He shouldve moved to Seattle. I think he did a FINE job.
Seriously tho that NO no call is the worst imo.
It ain't just fan duel's fault it's also the Democrats fault
I quit watching the NFL last year strictly because of the officiating; I can't take it anymore. There's no accountability for blantantly blown calls and too much money from the gambling sector. There has to be some level of corruption and its not worth being finically/emotionally invested in anymore
Not sure about the logic behind saying 2x players speaking out "obviously represent the majority opinion"… but actually, the definition of the exact opposite
Brad Allen was correct. Google the jomboy video of it.
Surprised the Steelers/Seahawks SB wasn’t mentioned. There were so many bad calls all directed towards Seattle. It was definitely rigged. And nowadays, the Chiefs are heavily favored. There’s plenty of video evidence. I don’t believe that any ref should recite death threats for their calls, but there is definitely a lot of evidence to prove that there is some sort of rigging going on for specific games. Refs should be held accountable and either fined or fired.
Definitely treated for Brady
Football aint that hard to referee the NFL make it hard
Its deeper than refs its coaches and players if you ask me.
Me and my brother grew up in Chicago as Bears fans, we just got in our 20s and grew up watching football and we are literally pursuing being NFL refs just for this reason, these players work too hard for a goofy ref to call an obvious bullshit call
If you thought the NFL players’ union is powerful, referee’s union is even more powerful.
Players are released or sent to the minors, managers and coaches are fired, and workers get laid off or fired.
An NFL official’s job is a difficult one, but once you’re in the club, you’re in until you decide to retire.
Ah, no, the NFL refs are basicly paid to fix games. the only way to fix this is to have the players, coaches, and fans be able to review their actions and the NFL to fire those that can not meet the standard. IT would also help if the refs were not "teams" and randomly assigned to games no more than 24 hours ahead of the game.
The NFL is a joke, only Americans could believe in something to utterly obviously fake.
Idc what anybody says. I’m not a fan of either team but that James Bradberry call was the right call. You can’t just not call it because it’s the Super Bowl and you think you should let them play. If they don’t call it then chiefs fans get mad either way. It’s the rules
We need to make gambling illegal again I feel like everything was better before that
People respect Jim Joyce because he owned the worst call in baseball. It happened, he blew it, he genuinely apologized publicly and was largely forgiven by fans globally.
The NFL does not apologize publicly. They may make a personal statement to the coach in private, but nothing to the fans. There is no remorse, no contrition, no accountability. In fact, it appears the NFL resents being questioned.
When image is placed in front of integrity, you lose both.
The NFL classifies itself as entertainment which means it’s perfectly legal to fix games.
Bill Vinovich eats out the devils pot
Dez didn’t catch it
Most refs have a full time job other than being a ref…..how does that make sense?
I don't think the sports betting is as impactful as people assume it is. I'm open to being wrong on this but that industry is set up in such a way where they come out on top no matter which way the dice roll. You can't beat the house over a long enough time line. A rule as old as time.
Individual refs CAN be bought out, though. I'm sure of that. Which is why the league needs to hire in-house referees. It's ridiculous that they don't.
And this is coming from a Lions fan who's seen the refs destroy us over the last 10-20 years with calls like the Calvin Johnson rule & ineligible receivers. It sucks even more now, ironically; because I'd hate for the Lions' new-found success to be owed to some WWE scripting. They've fought too hard for too long for possible successes to be undermined like that.
