Do you really think that more training is going to fix that game-changing call or non-call? MLB is replacing the home plate ump with robots because balls & strikes are really hard to call accurately. NBA fans hate the refs. WNBA fans really hate the refs. Even hockey fans have their gripes.It's the speed of the game and perspectives. We get six camera angles on our tvs and replays, while they see something (or don't see something) at freakish speed once, and may be on the wrong side of where the crucial infraction occurred.Nothing will change significantly with full-time refs or more training. Fans need to just understand the reality of sports, the reality of human referees, and accept it as a part of the game. Some days we'll get the Fail Mary call against us and other days we'll get the Dez Bryant playoff catch called in our favor. If you really want things to be 99% accurate, then fans need to call for unlimited replay reviews. We may have 4hr games but at least the calls will be right!</blockquote>
