Perception is reality. And the reality is that, with regard to the chiefs, the NFL has a perception problem.
In post-truth America, people believe what they choose to believe. The more whoever tries to change their mind, the more they dig into their heels.
It has become a major subject of discussion in recent weeks, given that the chiefs have won a pair of qualifying matches which included questionable calls which took place. Against the Texans during the divisional tour, it was a pair of flags launched for successes on the quarter-back of chefs Patrick Mahomes. (None of the two shots attracted a fine of the league office.) Against the Bills, it was third critical place, fueled by a system without technology which had two different places of two different managers and the one who promotes the Chiefs becoming the one that has been adopted.
Fans of the chiefs are reluctant to apply asterisks to their achievements. Others continue to emphasize the fact that the fix has entered.
This is how bad it is. The Fox rules analyst and former main vice -president of the NFL of Dean Blandino officiating – The man for which the current rereading system was designed and developed – has an immediate family member who is part of the crowd outdoors.
“My brother who is convinced that the league is riggedIt was convinced that I signed an NDA. . . When I left the league office, I cannot tell anyone that he is rigged, “said Blandino in an appearance on Siriusxm Mad Dog Sports Radio. “We grew up in the same household, by the way. I said, “Listen, there is no plot. Managers – There are too many variables, too many things happen. For me, it is the most difficult sport. When you think of football, with seven different officials, say: “OK, I will rig this game” or “The game is rigged from the League office”. Officials are just trying to do things well. »»
And he is right. If in doubt, incompetence replaces the plot. And the league is not competent enough to launch, maintain and hide a plot.
This does not prevent people, including Blandino’s brother, from believing the opposite. And this belief is fed by avoidable errors, obsolete methods and a total lack of transparency when it is time to venture behind the curtain and make critical decisions.
In the role of Blandino with the UFL, transparency has been adopted in the rereading function. The opening of windows to the world of football observation helps people see the sausage manufacturing process. To understand why the decisions are made. And not to let their spirits wander towards fanciful concepts that someone tries from engineering results.
For the NFL, it is a combination of factors – the least of which is not the lack of full -time officials. Add the continuous proliferation of the legalized game, and the information vacuum of the League becomes the Petri box in which the primordial oozing is the filth of Batshit
Remember what Commissioner Roger Goodell said in 2012, when the NFL still hated the legalization of the game? “If the game is freely authorized on sporting events, normal incidents of the game such as bad snaps, abandoned passes, turnover, penalties and calls inevitably feed speculation, distrust and accusations of shaving points or fixing of the game“Said Goodell.
Although the League, faced with these words a year ago, has minimized any increase in speculation, distrust and accusations to fix the game for more than five years in the far west of BET! BET! BET!He recently reached a fever in the chiefs.
But there is a way to repair it. Let the sun enter. Kiss technology. And spend the money to make all the full -time officials of employees who do not spend the whole football season to occupy two jobs and get little or any time to rest, recover and recharge.
Until the league takes steps, the atmosphere exists so that people believe that managers are directed to certain results. And, in turn, people like Blandino brothers believe.
The league can choose to raise them as Kooky speech. Or it can do what should be done to get rid of the mouth.
