In the heat of the game, fans are going to feel like their team is targeted. However, you have to realize that every single fanbase of every single team feels that way.
Isn't that funny?
The boring truth is A.) it's an imperfect system and by the letter of the law, some things are emphasized by higher ups regardless of how retarded we think they are... and B.) the officials are imperfect by virtue of being humans. If you step back, it's actually pretty amazing how many things get called correctly on the field in tight windows.
Like you mentioned... it's a pretty sweet gig they don't want to jeopardize by not taking it seriously. There's a reason a lot of these guys are lawyers.
