What's not real is opinion that isn't backed by facts.
And you're not using all of what's available to you because you are arguing without context. You're claiming the refs are worse without taking into account the fact that we have orders of magnitude more replays and discussion of games than we've ever had in history.
Replay doesn't automatically make things better. For example, several times over the years the NFL has gotten themselves worked up on what is and isn't a catch via replay that they've had to re-write the rule multiple times. That's not to say its replay's fault, just that they get lost in the weeds despite it. So just because there's ample technology doesn't automatically mean the officiating is the best. And like I said earlier, we've had all the things we've got now for at least 10 years. There's more frequent discussion of it over the last couple of years. That would point to me that there's something going on.
On a decline since when tho? Give me a starting time for me to quantity with regards to the present.
Timeline would be over the last couple of seasons. There's more talk about it during this time, maybe moreso this year specifically. When you got quieter guys like FVV going on a rant and getting popped for a fine, you kinda start taking notice of things more.
