So let's first define the problem:
What, precisely, makes bad calls "more" this season than before? Precisely how is a call defined as "bad"? Who makes that determination?
What's the numerator and denominator of the metric used to track this? It won't be "zero bad calls" - that's never a thing, because if you want a game you're going to have refs.
What's the rate of this metric you're comfortable with?
What's the variance from season to season? it's never going to be precisely equivalent from year to year whether politicians are involved or not.
You do realize that officiating has been "egregious" the entire history of the game, right?
I think the entire goal of this thread was to demonstrate fake outrage, a lack of understanding of the game, and a lack of desire to actually change anything.

A. Of course ref's mistakes have occurred the entire history. But back in the day, they didn't have instant replay. You do realize that instant replay was because of controversial mistakes, right? And when a flagrant mistake/no call, gets reviewed now, and STILL doesn't get corrected???
B. It's hardly fake outrage. You pay all that money for season tickets, you go to a big game, and incredibly stupid calls/no calls are made. Then, on instant replay, it shows the mistake was made, and the original mistake gets UPHELD ?
C. I do watch a good bit of the Patriots. Mostly, I keep losing the bets with our friend's daughter, who is now out of college. Almost never do I see the Patriots get hammered by refs, especially at critical times. I see them benefit by strange calls and no-calls.
A lack of understanding, sure, depends on the rules... but when you have your retired ref? hard put to explain it? That is very bad.
Back in the day, the game was far more violent toward wr's and qb's. Remember Jack Tatum?
So, the game has more rules to try to prevent serious injuries. It's how the rules are applied. I posted before - a certain referee team was taken off one game, for both teams complaining about the mistakes... and put on another game. The Patriots...game.
And, we have instant replay. "mistakes" should usually be corrected. Especially when the replay clearly shows the truth.
and then... it DOESN'T get overturned???

...... They have ruin the sport, and the people know it that’s why there rating are down 25% last year.
A little fact checking, I know that the NFL numbers have been going down in recent years -but- here's an article from Forbes on the 2018-2019 season a 5% gain over the previous year. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanberr/2019/08/25/nfl-defies-skeptics-as-its-tv-audience-continues-to-grow/#5a04b8b17394
Viewership for the National Football League probably will rise this season as outrage over player protests fades and fans respond to high-octane offenses racking up record numbers of touchdowns.
According to TV News Check, NFL viewership during the 2018-2019 season averaged 15.8 million per game on all networks, a gain of 5 percent. The NFL's broadcast partners — NBC, CBS, and Walt Disney's ESPN — each saw gains. Football advertising rates were up between 5 and 9 percent on average depending among other things on match-ups, and time of the season, according to the website.
Broadcast and cable networks are under assault from cord-cutters and streaming rivals like Netflix and Amazon. They are more dependent on the NFL than ever because of the large audiences pro football consistently delivers....... CONTINUED IN THE LINK.......

I think I can speak for a lot of people by saying it’s not the fact that the refs have made horrible calls. It’s the fact that it is lopsided for certain teams and against others. Simple put the shit is not spread evenly.
