The counterpoint to that one is a single ref on the field could similarly influence a game.  One could argue the league in NY is more insulated that the on-the-field ref.Not saying I necessarily believe that (or do.  Or not.  I don't the I can give a black and white answer here) but it could be argued.</blockquote>
