Reply to comment by ughlacrossereally in Monty Williams draws $20,000 fine for criticizing referees. by PrincessBananas85

Refs have too much power to influence the game... In any sport... American Football is probably the worst, slightly ahead of Basketball.

not that it matters but I think you are not correct about NFL reffing. They are willing to review the calls with video often. The NFL problem imo is that they have made the rules so technical that it has kind of lost the spirit of the game. Specifically, things like the way they define what is a catch and what is a fumble vs an incomplete pass. Not to say that they dont get it wrong but NBA refs have basically full subjectivity because almost any play can be called for any contact. but again just my opinion.

I'm saying the consequences of the call in the NFL probably are much harsher than than that of an NBA call.

I.E. a turnover in football matters way more than a turnover in the NBA
