Lamenting Lions

I didn't see the play, nor do I care to hunt it up on the Internet this morning. But I did fall into the wormhole a bit and follow up on Detroit Lions' fans lamenting a procedure penalty against them which negated a touchdown. The locals lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 30-17 last night.

Complaining about the refs is nothing new to football, or most any sport indeed. It's about time we had robo-umps in baseball to call balls and strikes, quite frankly. Yet it sure seems to me that football fans are among the worst at railing against the officiating. I mean, isn't it possible, just barely on the radar, a shadow on the horizon, that, perhaps, the penalty was legit, maybe?

Can we still be friends, or should I just go now?
