you're just not very observant, are you?
did I "hurt" your feelings? do you actually believe gamblers don't care about officials? damn, that makes you less observant than you appear to be
your homework assignment, google "irony"
oh, and yes, we all have a license to embellish just a tad to help us make what should be an obvious point
absolutely part of the problem, bureaucrats in board rooms trying to improve the game, as if they actually know something
Do I believe gamblers don't care about officials? No, of course they do. Gamblers always have to assign blame for their shitty beats. It's akin to complaining about bad weather.
Deal with it. No one likes whiners
They have already taken steps to make the Command Center able to override
What other solution do you have?

I don't think they are doing a terrible job. Some of the rules are open to interpretation leading to inconsistent calls. One thing that bothers me is the refs take a lot of shit from both the players and coaches. They are constantly getting bitched at and rarely do they flag the players or coaches. In hoops you can call a "T" to calm things down but the constant bitching has to have an impact on the calls they make. It's an emotional game but damn the refs seem like they are always catching hell about something. Sooner or later they have to make a call just to shut the bench and coaches up......and usually it is a bullshit call that had no impact on the play.
They lack respect from the players and coaches. The inmates are running the asylum.
implement a simple concept, no advantage gained or lost, no foul, especially when it's something soft away from the play
more common sense, a finger braising the helmet is not a blow to the head
get rid of their equivalence of the freedom of motion rules, where "sometimes" just breathing on the receivers is a foul
take away all the judgmental calls they implemented in recent years, like their interpretation of a catch which leads to more inconsistent calls than anything
defensive linemen can move, offensive linemen can't, just like it was throughout history. now they encourage the OL flop
and most importantly, take the reviews away from the "command center", where a video technician is making the calls and is the most inconsistent person in all of sports. Give reviews back to referees
keep it simple
Willie, I don't even know how to respond to such a terrible post
Let's start with your first "point"
No advantage gained or lost, then there shouldn't be a flag. What the f does this even mean? What flags are you talking about? By this astounding opinion, Burfict shouldn't have been hit with a flag for trying to kill Brown. I mean, he didn't gain any "advantage" on that particular play by almost killing him
And especially "away from the play." What are you talking about here. Care to cite some examples of bad calls?

The one thing I will address is a concept I deem to be very important. No advantage gained or lost, no foul. It's a concept addressed by the NBA in it's "interpretation" or "application" of the rules. It's also a concept addressed by many officiating organizations covering a wide range of sports at varying levels of play.
Here's the NBA's interpretation.
Degree of Contact As noted in the Comments on the Rules in the NBA Rulebook, the mere fact that contact occurs does not necessarily constitute a foul. Contact that is simply incident alto an effort by a player to play an opponent (on offense or defense) should not be considered illegal.In determining the degree of contact that constitutes a foul, referees take into account a few factors: In open areas like the perimeter, where players are often making large movements (e.g., cuts/drives), referees consider whether contact interrupts an opponent’s rhythm, speed, balance or quickness (or “RSBQ”). For example, if a defender makes contact with a driving offensive player such that the contactaffects the offensive player’s RSBQ, the contact is considered illegal and a foul isassessed. If the defender makes contact, but the offensive player continues hisdrive essentially unchanged, there is no foul. In close areas like the post, where players are often making tighter moves inclose proximity (e.g., backdowns/box-outs), referees consider whether the contact was enough to dislodge, reroute or impede an opponent. For example, if an offensive player backs into a defensive player who is in a legal guarding position and dislodges him, an offensive foul has occurred. Or if a defender delivers a blow with his forearm or shoulder to the offensive player as he attempts to backdown, a defensive foul has occurred.

I'm also going to suggest stuff like when a long pass is completed on one side of the field the fact that a wide receiver runs down and extends his arm on the other side of the field is not PI. The only advantage created there is when the ref throws his flag
The concept is very easy to understand
