Not too many bosses go on national television to discipline employees, especially not when those same employees work on national TV all the time. Even when a newscaster or someone like that screws up royal, a lot of the discipline happens behind closed doors, and then there's a little statement that is very non-harsh. I mean, even Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson's bosses didn't call what happened during the Superbowl a "terrible thing" and apologize for their bad judgment and the seamstress who didn't knot her thread properly didn't even get named. So it does seem a little out of line for one call in one game with one bad (if it was so bad) decision to be publicly singled out and harshly impugned.
