I think the NFL is missing out on a huge business opportunity.
NFL fans should be able to overrule questionable calls by voting with their phones or computers.
Every NFL fan has experienced the feeling of wanting to take that yellow flag and shove it up a zebras ass, so why not capitalize on the idea and create a new market for it?
If 65% of the NFL Fan Referee public agrees, the call in question should be reversed.
The NFL needs to find news ways to stay interactive with a huge proportion of their fan base that are unable to afford a luxury box or a $3,000 PSL.
More people watch the games than go to them. What better way is there to, "reach out," to the fans that watch their product?
Out of challenges? Every team should be able to use at least 1 NFL Fan Referee challenge per game to potentially overturn a call.
Such a thing would make the NFL more interesting, more fair, and more profitable.
If, "NFL Fan Referees," existed back in 2002 the Raiders would have went to the Super Bowl.
It was a fumble. Tuck rule my ass.
"This NFL Fan Referee Replay Challenge sponsored by_____, alright folks get out your phones or login at NFL.com with your password and tell us what you think about this call from Denver, over to you, Chris."
Home and away team fan refs would not be be able to vote for or against their own team's games, only NFL fans from around the country.
$100 per fan X a conservative estimate of 5 million NFL Fan Referees = half a billion dollars.
Advertisers couldn't touch that rate of return.
