I was unaware that we wouldn’t get approval to officiate. Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys, makes a subtle jab at those who are criticizing the officiating this season.

When Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, spoke on 105.3 The Fan this week, he was his usual direct, no-nonsense self.

“I must have been in a fog for the last 30 years, but any meaningful rule change that

I’ve ever seen in any major issue no matter defensively, offensively, passing game, or running game, the owners approved it,

” Jones said in response to a barrage of questions about the rules, officiating, and how owners should step in.

“So I didn’t realize that we won’t approve officiating. And I know we’re paying them, the people that are officiating.

That is our money.”

This season, there have been some significant officiating errors, although this is a normal part of the sport.

“I acknowledge the difficulty, but let me tell you something. Making the correct call on the field is heavily pressured by instant replay.

It appeals to me. However, Jones noted that officiating is a component of the game.

With the popularity of sports betting, referees are under more pressure than ever because a

poor mistake can have dire consequences and the term “fix” is frequently used.

The referee adage of bad calls happens and often even themselves out over a season will not cut it in a

highly competitive sports betting world.

There is much work to be done, but the question is how to officiate without taking human error into

account, even with the hindsight of replays to assist referees.

Certain calls are ambiguous, leaving analysts, coaches, supporters, and athletes perplexed because there is no absolute right or wrong answer.

In any case, despite greatest attempts, referee errors are not found to be eliminated, and until

singularity catches up, it never will. However, who is in favour of robots on the field, and where does it begin?

High school, college, or peewee league?
