That’s probably it

The league has so much tied up in the smallest media market in professional sports that they’ll dictate which team gets the calls. The calls were really bad tonight, and advantageous for GB, but read what you’re writing. Literally decades of subsidizing the most challenging market in the sport, via officiating. Not back to back hall of fame QBs, or the absence of a meddlesome, Daniel Snyder-type owner. But the league needs a media market of 200k so badly to survive that it will subvert it’s own integrity.
