Exclamation

I think the problem here is the use of the word "bias". Of course we, as officials, sometimes think a game may have had some bad calls in it. But we also know that the officials on the floor had different angles than we had watching either from the stands or on TV. But...when you use the word "bias", to us - that implies favoritism or, worse, cheating. And that's something we resent without reservation.

I look at it this way - if there really was manipulation of games by officials, and therefore the league - Vegas wouldn't take bets on games. If you want a definitive standard as to whether a sporting event is on the up-and-up, then that's it. 'Nuff said.
