Realistic ways to hold referees accountable?
Posted on 9/28/26 at 8:43 am

I’m as mad as I’ve ever been at referees after yesterday’s game! It’s unacceptable.
“Boycotting the NFL” is a child’s answer. So how can fans really show how upset we are with these terrible referees? I’m seriously asking. And while we seem to get screwed over more often, it’s gotta be other fan bases as well.
So what’s the answer?
1) Amend and reopen the no-call litigation to do discovery on referees?
2) Hire protesters to protest non-stop outside of the NFL’s park avenue offices?
3) Stage a “walk-out” or something where fans don’t show up for the first 5-10 minutes of a particular week?
4) Agree to buy no concessions for a particular week?
5) Hire engineers to create a cheap referee AI that the NFL ends up replacing refs with?
6) Get the DOJ to investigate refs for conspiracy and/or corruption?
7) ???

There's nothing that can be done. The only way is for the NFL to punish them with suspensions or fines, but that will never happen because the refs are doing exactly what the NFL wants them to do.

Nothing can be done. The game is a rainbow, tranny fest with faggety male cheerleaders. Goodell is on the Epstein list. He has Tim Walz on speed dial. Football as we used to know it is dead.

The owner allows it because all she wants is money.

The NFL does not care. NFL games were on more households, commercial establishments, airports, etc than any other program multiple times over. The TV rights are gold. Most people don’t care to the extent message board fans do and regular, casual watchers are by far the consumers of the product.
Nothing is changing. People either need to care less or just torture themselves.
The players likely don’t even care. It’s a job to them and they’re making a great living.

An AI will likely find a foul or incorrect call on every play

They need to be publicly shamed. No violence, just heckled everywhere they go. Called pieces of shite, scum, everything imaginable. They get payed a lot to go along with the script, they can take some hate words.

One way is to not have a -4 turnover differential. We gave up 14 points off Shough turnovers to DET and 14 points off Shough TOs to the Raiders

What frustrates me is the NFL spent all spring - as they were negotiating the new referee CBA - about how they were going to hold officials accountable, replace them if needed, etc.
3 games in, league wide, officiating is the worst I’ve ever seen.
WTF happened?
In my opinion you are only going to fix the issues by having the officials full time, and go to 8 or even 9 man crews.
And that only happens if the owners or the sport books demand it.

Their union is too powerful and will not allow anything in bargaining that makes them be held accountable for doing a shitty job. Same problem with MLB umpires, which is how Angel Hernandez had that job for as long as he did instead of flipping burgers at McDonalds
