We are disagreeing on different things. You view a blown call as the ref not enforcing a rule.
I don’t view it that way. I don’t care what a rulebook says if the enforcement is unclear, often completely incorrect. That’s why I don’t drive the speed limit. Because the police allow me to drive over it.
Blown calls to you are ok? I’m saying if a rule says 1 thing, and then another thing happens in game, that’s big issue and undermine the rule.
Natural law vs positive law. This debate is in more than sports.
I say if the rulebook says “no hand pass” but in game a hand pass is allowed, then the rules to me allow handpasses.
I don’t want to pretend in a rulebook if it doesn’t apply in game. I have no control on the refs. Their enforcement or lack of decides the outcome for me as a fan. I can’t separate the two. I view rules as flawed, inconsistent and hard to understand if they do not apply. Or do apply, sometimes.
If I say the speed limit is 25, it’s 25. If it’s not, then the speed limit isn’t 25.
You seem to continue to view the speed limit as 25 and somehow view it as a legitimate, clear rule that is not enforced. That’s a blown call. Well, the blown call just decided the game. So to me, that is the rule.
Meaning, each game is played with different rules. Every game. The refs ruling changes. That’s bad.
