It's baseball fellas.
Football refs can just be like "ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm you weren't faithful to the line of scrimmage. red flag"Dude that was so funny last year lmao everyone was mad about it.
Easily baseball. You can't challenge anything they do and if you complain they throw you out of the game.Thats a great point. Baseball umps are usually the main group I hear associated with being replaced by robo refs

Look up 1997 nlcsLmfaooooo that is so blatant

NBA is the same. Calling a charge or block late in a game to give free throw shots late in a close game can all but change the outcome.
People are really underestimating how horrible hockey refs are. I get that it's the lowest rung of the totem pole when it comes to the big 4, but it's refs are garbage tier, especially in international competition.Nah, baseball umps are just that fucking scummy. There's videos of umps telling players and coaches that they can do and say whatever they want and they don't give a fuck.

Baseballs tough because you cant throw a flag on a home run. Or a double. And so on. Sure the ump could be awful but a pitcher is still gonna throw strikes and if its hit, theres nothing you can do about it.The old adage is that every single play in the NFL has holding, ya know? I guess only the blatant or egregious ones get called
I picked football. Long awesome TD for a team you dont want to win? Whistle. Flag. Bring it back. Look at all the holding that didnt get called for the chiefs, think theres an extremely blatant one right in front of the camera on the final play. Ref wants them to win? No whistle. Ref doesnt want them to win? Whistle. Every single play in football can be changed because of the ref.
Easiest to rig? (Baseball)You picked the one sport (basketball) that has a recent example of a ref actually getting caught rigging games?
Or easiest to rig and get away with it? (Basketball)
More than that with the NBA is the ability to simply put a star player in foul trouble early and often. One player makes the biggest impact in basketball compared to the rest of those sports. A few ticky tack calls can take a star player out of a game for large stretches and completely change the odds. Thats before you start adding free throws in favor of one team.That's true too. Getting that 2nd foul early in the 1st quarter is almost a death knell for a team.
