    Yes.

    The entire premise “if only the on field decisions were more correct then people would enjoy football more” is completely flawed.

    Maybe, at best, people would complain less, but it doesn’t mean they will watch more or importantly spend more money attending or watching on TV.

    Additionally, what has been completely highlighted is there is a huge amount of referring decisions that nobody can agree on what the right answer is.

    I gave up on the NFL because of how awful replay made it to watch. It became a game within the game. It became a competition ABOUT the rules instead of under the rules.
