Use they the referees of the Olympic Games?

Now they make the old style with the good old Tape Measure. (Sorry for offtopic)



Yeah, it is ridiculous^^

Something went wrong with the measurement of one of the throws from the german Bettie Heidler...i guess it is somehow related to that.

Boy, and two germans are leading the pole vault competition




The boxing judges have been the worst - there is one from the Philippines who gets it totally wrong EVERY fight!

*cough* backhanders *cough*

They want more money. I'm not sure if they strike or the NFL locked them out. But the result is the same...

The refs were locked out by the league in June, if I remember correctly.

Although the referees are well paid in their respective careers (they're only part time NFL employees), I wouldn't mind them getting a bit more coin for their weekend jobs. Full time referees may be a better option, though.

I like the new referees at lest in the game I saw. They were not Flag happy like normal referees would be. But they still called the Penalties that you didn't need a replay to see.

So maybe we will get to watch football and not flag ball

Funny:

Are the replacement officials a serious issue?
Yes, there are many issues with them.
No, I'm a NFL owner/Roger Goodell.

They are ruining games. They have changed results and heavily influenced others.

This stupid pro league looks like it becomes the G*I of real life ....

They fight this stupid war over what? How much money?
A few hundet mio a season, I think. In a league making billions!

They just do what every money gready company does. Fuck their employees to get the biggest bang for their own pockets.

This replacements are not good enough to do jobs in the biggest college conferences and now they do fuck up the biggest sport league OF THE PLANET???

This is not THEIR fault, it's the league and the owners fault.

Rules and Enforcements are so different than in College no one could blame them, blame a multibillion Buisnesscompany for not paying one of their main contributers to have a high quality product the money they deserve...
