The reffing has been so atrocious that it's getting really difficult for me to watch. I actually am starting to question watching the games because I just get so pissed off and it's taking away from my enjoyment. I am happy as a STH to hear that the team has sat down with the league, whether or not it helps is up in the air of course.

I did initially wonder whether I'm just a massive homer, but when the media starts publicly pointing it out as well multiple times (and not just the local guys), it validates my feeling.

If this continues through the end of the year it certainly will impact my decision on season tickets next year. Most games I've gone to this year I end up feeling pissed off. Of course there is now some of my own bias in there so it's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy, and in a way I feel bad for the refs because at this point they're overly scrutinized in our barn. But if they were a true professional organization (the union that is) they would address it and possibly even publicly. Either way I'm past the point of thinking that this is just my own bias and homerism. It's ridiculous.
