When it comes to officiating in big-time American sport…being disenchanted, nauseated, and sodomized (serious…ok…a different story) is the norm for the public engaged in the sport at hand…who inevitably continue to deal with some stupid-ass rule interpretations (ok…push play above).
Never mind the human instinct to do “what’s right is right!” and being able to make decisions based on intellect, nizzards (balls), and…um…being on your feet?! Robots abound…making high-level non-decisions/stupid interpretations in situations that impact the sports-books, the financial statements of big time programs, and my nerve. It happens ALLLLLL THHHHEE TIMMME. When referees make a decision based on the “rule” vs. the spirit of the rule it astounds me! Unreal.
And, for the record, this isn’t a rant coming from the northwest and on behalf of Washington…just someone who sees a wrong. Crazy!!
