From the magazine: "His goal was to make sports officials more accountable for mistakes they make during games, and to publicly acknowledge ...errors in a timely manner in order to restore and maintain public confidence in the games."

I propose concurrent legislation: Make sports participants more accountable for mistakes they make during games such as fumbles, interceptions, missed tackles, turnovers, missed free throws, stikeouts, and errors and to publicly acknowledge ...errors in a timely manner in order to restore and maintain public confidence in the games.

"the NCAA, NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and NASO, and other professional sports association should enforce or strengthen existing rules or develop new rules for the recurrent training of referees, umpires, judges, linemen, and other sports officials under their jurisdiciton and for the retraining, censuring or dismissing of referees, umpires, judges, linemen and other sports officials who have a substandard record of making accurate calls during a contest."

Two questions for Pete:

What is the standard for making "accurate calls"?
Who is the judge of what is and is not an "accurate call"?
