Get rid of TV and instant replay being the referees and just play the game, instead of making the referees scapegoats for a preferred outcome. Baseball is even worse. Challenges and TV have ruined it.
I can agree on the "what ifs", but every year, when the games get more critical to advance, there are bigger and bigger missed calls or bad calls with no ramifications to the officiating staff. They come across as not taking any pride or effort in their work. I would love to say "get rid of replays", if the refs did a better job. But look how many times we have to reverse a call to get it right to start with. How about, you refs making bad calls... get fired.
