Why do People Blame the Refs every Single Game when you know there will be bad calls?

One of my biggest pet peeves is people blaming refs, saying they are fixing games, ruining the game, etc, etc. It's ridiculous. Refs have one take on the play. They have to make an instant decision without replays or slow motion. They have to figure out whether a defender hits the guys wrist or hit the ball, have to try to determine whether a corner back grabbed the receivers arm too early, have to figure out whether the puck was 1 inch outside the blue line or not. It's a difficult fucking job. And when you get all the different rules in the game, like whether or not someones helmet made contact with another player, it's ridiculous.

Basketball is by far the hardest game in the world to ref. Hands and feet moving at rapid speeds. It is incredibly difficult. This is why they brought replay in to sports. Because it is honestly very very difficult when you are on the field, court, or ice, to make perfect decisions instantaneously without having any other views. It's ridiculous how people get up in arms because a ref says a receiver was out of bounds when his toe barely touched in bounds and 10 different replays made it obvious it was a catch. I mean don't get me wrong. I call refs fucking idiots when they blow a call that affects my bet. But to act like they are all in some kind of conspiracy to rig games for sports bettors is hilarious.

Refs are apart of the game, they will make mistakes every single game. They are not robots. Gamblers paranoia at it's finest!

You take this shit too seriously. Calm down, kid...it will be OK.

This is just a message board on the internet. Words on a screen. Nobody really gives a fuck, we all post whatever comes to mind.

I can pm you my number if you want to talk to someone about the things going on in your life.

why not post this in the thread on the subject already posted rather than start a new one?

Complaining about complaining. Fun.

That's right. Nobody gives a fuck what anyone else posts. It's the internet for Christ's sake.

Refs make mistakes no doubt. But what about when they even screw up instant replay. I've seen happen even in baseball. No excuse for that. The Ia fumble the other day was not conclusive at all and they still overturned it. Cost a lot of bettors I'm sure.
