Why are refs so protected by the nfl? It's so odd...
Because it's difficult to get people to take up the job due to the hate and abuse they repeatedly cop every week.
On top of that, every game there are contentious calls, no calls, flags that could have been thrown or could have been let go etc.
The Chiefs/Bills play that wasn't is a perfect example of a ref being in a no win situation. He throws the flag and gets blasted for throwing it, he doesn't throw it and the Bills lose then it's all over social media within 20 minutes and he's blasted for missing it.
f**k the refs but f**k being one even more.
