Agreed, but I think those things are easier to “make objective” in the rulebook than say determining what constitutes a legal/illegal tackle, what behavior deserves a yellow card, etc.

It’s hard to officiate what one person is doing, but when you bring physical contact with another person into the mix, i feel like the complexity increases exponentially .

yeah i don’t care how cute the watermelon is, I’m beating its ass

lmao citing Dallas in comparison is a liiiitle misleading given that they are literally most penalized team in the league for defensive holding, and tied for second most in offensive holding.

The league average for defensive holding this season is 4, compared to the eagles 2. The league average for offensive holding calls is 8, compared to the eagles 4.

Baseball definitely the closest, a balk is probably the only call that can’t be made objectively, but it’s such a minor thing anyway.
