All I'm saying is, that in my opinion, officials will get pressure put on them to make changes. We are in a media age and right or wrong people are playing video and talking bad about officials more than ever. I'm not saying this is right; I just think the pressure will continue to mount. Look at how Sportcenter blatantly talked bad about the Super Bowl officials. I think it was wrong to do what they did but then we see the video on cell phones, tv and computers. Also, someone can have the perfect game but the fans and players of the losing team will think the got robbed.

They have to blame someone and officials might take the fall.
