It got me thinking, shouldn't there be a policy against commentators personally criticizing officials on air? I wouldn't think anyone would be okay with a commentator making personal comments about a coach or player on TV, so why is it acceptable to do so about an official?
I happened to be watching this game. I thought it was pretty tacky.
