It's always easier to blame than to take responsibility.

This is dead on accurate:Thumbs:

Why dont the refs take responsibility for blowing the game.

But this is downright STUPID! I have seen what, a total of FOUR blown calls listed in this thread! So, we are going to say this game was decided on a handful of missed or blown calls, and fire off "Why aren't the Refs accountable"??? Dumb, just dumb when any moron who has such a limited sense or understanding of a full 2 hour sporting even makes an argument that the refs had a role to play in the outcome of a game!

So, how many possessions in the game? How many turnovers? How many wrong plays were run? How many poor decisions were made in shot selection? How many shooters were left wide open because the ball handler didn't get them the ball? How many wrong play calls did the coach call in? The outcome of the game was decided here

Not by the Refs!

The refs make so FEW decisions during the course of a game, they have impact less than 2% of an entire contest played from beginning to end. Less than 2%! I don't care if they made 5 COMPLETELY erroneous calls per half, they still statistically had no impact on a game!

I guarantee you that there were a 1,000 flaws in either the paint job, installation of the upholstery, drive train, and engine of your car. Let's call those mistakes the referee! But the chips in the paint, the wear of the tires because of poor driving, the engine build-up of not changing the oil regularly, the spilled dip bottle on the carpet that you do each week, these are all the things that have the impact on the destruction of your car - That makes you the player. Yet, when your car stops running and just falls apart on the home from your 10,000th trip to the local convenience store to buy your Ho-Ho's, you will blame those who helped put together your car in stead of you being the driver and having DIRECT impact you had on the car while operating it and providing proper maintenance. You, the driver, are responsible for the condition of the car based on your decisions, not the builder of the car who had such a minor impact on the overall condition of the car!
