You are probably onto something. What a lot of people don't realize is that if you go back and look at last years games, even the regular officials received a lot of negative treatment. Everyone thinks the officials are "cheating" regardless of who is out there. The media is always trying to created controversy. Controversial situations bring higher ratings.
