GameDay Discussion
The NFL Referees Association has finally broken the silence on accusations that their officials “rig” games for the Kansas City Chiefs.
As most NFL fans know, the Chiefs have been involved in a plethora of controversial calls throughout the 2024 season. Patrick Mahomes and company have been on the beneficial side of those calls more often than not, such as the AFC Divisional Round and AFC Championship Games.
Disgruntled fans and even NFL legend Terrell Owens have accused the officials of fixing games for Kansas City. Finally, the NFL Referees Association has decided to address the accusations once and for all.
NFL Referees Association executive director Scott Green called the accusations “insulting” in a scathing statement, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Green praised Commissioner Roger Goodell for calling the conspiracy theory “ridiculous” during his Super Bowl week press conference on Monday:
Well, there you have it. Someone in the NFLRA finally had enough of the conspiracy theorists and decided to say something about it.
You can bet that the officials will be under the microscope this Sunday when the Chiefs and Eagles face off in Super Bowl 59. Ron Torbert, who officiated Super Bowl 56 between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals, is the head referee for the game.
For example, what exactly is stopping them from making penalties like roughing the passer or grabbing the facemask reviewable? And when will they finally use advanced technology to their advantage by using an electronic system to spot the ball?

The League Should Do More To Help NFL Referees Association
It’s easy for fans and players to point the finger at the refs when they make a mistake, but it’s not their fault that the league has passed on several opportunities to improve officiating and replay review.For example, what exactly is stopping them from making penalties like roughing the passer or grabbing the facemask reviewable? And when will they finally use advanced technology to their advantage by using an electronic system to spot the ball?

Preposterous, my ass. They're rigging the games. They can pretend they're not and shit will just get worse, or they can admit that they are, even if unintentionally, and they can fix the problem.
But they can fuck off with the "insulting!" "ridiculous!" retort bullshit.
I find it it insulting that they're insulted. I watch the games and I was born at night, but it wasn't last night. Definite favoritism towards the Chiefs. The Taylor Swift effect.
Yeah, that release should confirm to everyone that they’re basically saying, “yeah we rig this shit lol.” Whenever a company that big tries to defend themselves against allegations by painting the accusers (in this case… their audience) as being crazy, which they are doing here, it might as well be a smoking gun.
If it weren’t for contributing to this board, I probably wouldn’t even watch this dross. I absolutely hammered the Chiefs with the good natives at Hard Rock. I hope I’m wrong and lose money.

Yeah I find it hard to believe that the refs aren't favoring the Chiefs. Good for my rooting interest but the Chiefs can fuck off

This was the player that when Bill didn't resign him made me want to let him go
Losing the Super Bowl is history.
Without the officials, the Chiefs would have finished second in their division and not had a bye.
Without the officials, the Chiefs would have been one-and-done in the playoffs.
Enjoy the ride, but don't be retarded about it.

Nope. We've been constantly rating as the most viewed team way before the Taylor Swift fest.
