I'd be curious if the replacement refs are actually making more bad calls than the regular refs, or if we just think so because every single time a bad call is made there's a reference to the fact that they are replacements. It's not like folks aren't normally up in arms about various bad calls, they're just adding the whole "replacement" bit into the mix
You mean an overwhelming cognitive bias caused by the mere labeling of otherwise identical facts? Maybe, I think liberal thinkers have been suggesting this for some time now.
