The broadcasters and NFL execs ballyhooed her presence, or I wouldn’t have cared. But then I hear them puff themselves up about including a ref on the SB team - an elite honor. I see repetitive bad calls and one way tricky tack calls all first half (95 yds of penalties to KC and 5 yds to TB I heard later). I notice the ballyhooed ref is making the majority of them. And the announcers and camera men go out of their way not to show who made some of the calls on replay. The conclusion is either that she was hurried along, or she had a bad game - with the tie breaker going to how much they puffed out their chests.
It’s hilarious to watch the straw man responses to this calling out that the emperor has no clothes.
I don’t care who won the game.
I don’t think KC would have won with good calls.
I could care less about Tom Brady.
I could care less that a girl is doing the SB.
I just want good reffing from a merit based system. The signaling from the NFL tells me that it didn’t happen here.
I was giving the ref the benefit of the doubt that she was rushed along, and I do think that happened.
