I think fans trick themselves into believing in their teams every year. We all know there are only a few real contenders every season, but fans still tune in.
Blaming the refs gives the fans an excuse for their team sucking and makes it easier to believe “next time will be different if the refs don’t **** us”.
There are very few actually unbiased fans out there. I think the NFL likes playing into this a bit.
It’s kinda like protecting a babyface who loses in pro wrestling. He’ll almost always have an out, so he won’t be weakened in the eyes of the fan.
Same deal here.
