The Current State of the NFL

[Clipper Nation]

Global Football is fighting the problem

How are they "fighting the problem" when there's new rigging scandals practically every month?

That's like saying the NCAA is "fighting the problem" of cheating when they give Cleveland State the death penalty for buying a slice of pizza for a recruit, all while the Manziels and Winstons of the world are driving around in Ferraris and getting fake grades in fake classes.

Why watch when you think it's rigged? Never understood these type of people tbh.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

You can't throw a phantom flag or call a phantom foul in Global Football.

I covered this with my last sentence in OP

We are comparing 1 Million Global matches with 250 in the NFL. Game deciding blown calls are far more prone in the NFL because it is a sport centered around referees/stoppage/measurements.

Every other NFL game is filled with Ref allegations. This is not the case in Global Football

i kind of agree with the OP on refs getting worse in the NFL. it is feeling more like Stern's version of the NBA, part of that is from the rules getting more complicated. even Mike Pereira said the rules need to be simplified. I just would like to see more consistency.

I also like soccer a lot but that is far from perfect. Not just ref scandals but some soccer games are as boring as any football game.

Starting playing football at around 7/8 tears old. At around 11/12 I started watching Jim Brown, Johnny Unitas, Bobby Mitc etc. Played four years of HS ball, 3 years of Naval base ball and 15 years in the city flag football league, I have seen all the SB's and the first MNF game. There is nothing that will will get in my way of that long love affair with football....nothing.

Played my last tackle game with pads at 45 years old, yep...HS alumni game.

Nope, very true. Would you like for me to take you to school talking Niners?

Although Newcastle is disgruntled after a tough loss (he's also totally wrong trumpeting soccer's integrity, which is known as the most corrupt sport on planet Earth, and headed by FIFA, which is essentially a cartel), his assessment of the officiating competency is pretty much correct. Goodell's rule changes have created a lot more instances of 50/50 calls, which has placed additional pressure on refs.

Yep... thanks to Roger, you pretty much have to be 30 points better than Fivehead or Brady to win by 10 because of the ref factor. And there's always a new "point of emphasis" to punish defenses after they choke. But still, it easily beats povertyball.

>sucking this much Euro

I don't get it

[LnGrrrR]

Who is this infinite limit re ?

[Clipper Nation]

Will the BBC lover whine about that blatant flop by Perrish Cox?

[Clipper Nation]

Bumping so that Newcastle can make more excuses for his declining team.

Soccer is a far superior sport and this thread illustrates it
- Fkd up Crabtrees TD
- Screwed up the clock
- Over-turned possession

How do you manage those 3 fk ups in the span of 3 plays with the game on the line. This simply does not occur in Soccer. Complaining about Refs in World Cup or Champions League is far less than a NFL Sunday or NBA Playoff Night.

The offensive line & QB struggled. Every other unti is as good as advertised.

Exactly my point. Global Football is fighting the problem while NBA & NFL continues on while you suckers watch ignorantly.

You can't throw a phantom flag or call a phantom foul in Global Football. Referees in American sports are protected by the way the Sports are illogically structured: Endless fouls called

"fighting the problem"
reelecting the same FIFA president who oversaw widespread corruption for years
claiming soccer is anything but the most rigged and corrupt sport on the planet
NewCastleCUCK

What happened.

NFL still suck? All signs point to YES

Povertyball still corrupt and ty? Well, people are getting arrested left and right while the s bag commissioner just got re-elected by default after his opponent mysteriously quit after one round, so I'm going with YES.

There are 200+ nations in FIFA

Think about that. 200 NFL's. Imagine all the criminals and deflated balls if there were 200 NFLs

People and their precious little domestic sports are cute.

To the best of my knowledge, the actual NFL has never had higher-ups getting dragged out of league HQ by plainclothes cops for a corruption trial.

Keep blaming the refs for the continued failure of the Decliners, all while your real favorite "sport" is proven to be one of the most corrupt ins utions on the planet

Butthurt
Mad that bribes, corruption and rigging is the first association people will make with third-world kickball now in the only relevant country in the world

OP is seriously the biggest whiner on ST. Which is quite the accomplishment. Dude could find a way to complain about getting his sucked by Selma Hayek.
