I have more invested in the NBA so to me they are worse. Especially whenI officiating a Knicks game.

Players foul all the time in sports. If you’re in the last two minutes of a game— don’t call bumps or stuff that happens all the time— unless it’s flagrant — let the players decide outcomes

Officiating isn't rigged.

The premise doesn't hold up under even light scrutiny.

And as fans, we should understand the first rule of fandom.

EVERY fan believe officials AND the media hate them.

That's our brains doing a trick on us.

Heh.

Citing a specific example more or less contradicts the point you were making.

But whatever...

Unless you don't think into what the example was meant to represent. I'll explain, a seven year old is not supposed to question the truth. When their parents tell them that Santa is real that's all there is to it. Same for the "cancel generation". No reason to use logic, just bend the knee. No reason to think, just repeat what you are told. Here is the enemy, this is who we hate, the details don't matter. You are either with us or you are the enemy..

I fully grasped your point.

Mine is there is PLENTY of that to go around on any side of the social, political, or age demographic you care to cite.

I'd in fact says older demographics, which I am on the cusp of, are in fact more prone to this.

I 1000+ agree with that. There is too much of that going around from both sides and all ages. Older people are less likely to question, of course. I just wish people would think more for themselves and look for more facts about a subject before forming an opinion.

Then it's all good.

I'd only add we more or less just described human civilization in general.

Not the last 5 years of our's.
