Why broadcasters are idiots

We've had "Why coaches are idiots", we've had "Why officials are idiots", and (as if we needed any more convincing), here is reason #1,537 why broadcasters are idiots. . .

ROME -- Italian state broadcast station RAI is considering taking legal action against soccer ruling body FIFA because of refereeing errors it believes led to Italy's defeat at the World Cup.

In a statement, RAI said it had asked its legal department to study building a case showing that FIFA was responsible for the poor quality refereeing.

"(The case) would seek to have FIFA reimburse damages suffered by (RAI) following the exit of the Italian team from the World Cup on the basis of universally recognised refereeing errors, errors that were so blatant they could only be described as the product of serious fraud," the statement said.
