The Scandal!

While most people are acting as if they just found out soylent green is people over this whole scandal, I'm actually excited for what I feel will be sweeping changes. In a move that shouldn't be that shocking, being that sports and gambling go hand in hand, Tim Donaghy made the league have to self reflect and hopefully create a league that is officiated in an even manner. The league can deny that things are called evenly now but anyone that watches the game consistently or even casually knows that stars get calls in order to keep them on the court which gives people their monies worth and that home teams get calls so the fans remain relatively happy. I understand that people will always have a bias due to personal opinion but it would be nice to watch a game and just see it called down the middle. Some people will always see issues with officiating due to their own bias and it being subjective but people seem to respect the way the college game or even the high school game is called. This will help get people beyond the conspiract theories and then they can focus on the overall lack of fundamentals instead. Well, that's a whole other story for another day.
