    Said Goodell: “It creates more gambling, it creates more gamblers and it creates the more likelihood that people are going to perceive it as being an influence. . . . It’s a very strongly held view in the NFL, it has been for decades that the threat that gambling could occur in the NFL or fixing of games or that any outcome could be influenced by the outside could be very damaging to the NFL and very difficult to ever recover from.”

  2. Having vague rules and subjective calls is totally by design and it makes the NFL a more dramatic league. 
     

    The NFL could probably clean up a lot of the BS with officiating but why would they? It adds to the drama, it adds to the discussion, it adds to the emotional attachment to the games. 
     

    Plus they can influence games at will, no one is ever surprised by horrible calls anymore, that’s the most consistent part of the game now. 
     

    The NFL knows exactly what they’re doing, don’t forget that.
