The Top 9 Differences if All
Sports Officials Were Practicing Attorneys

9> There would be a new profession: Pararef.

8> Coaches could appeal bad calls all the way to the US Supreme Court, dragging out the NFL season for several decades.

7> Refs now take 10% of the winning team’s points as their own.

6> Sports announcers would find themselves saying things like, “Yes, Fred, but would a *reasonable person* consider that kick to the groin unmotivated and capricious?”

5> Every time a flag is thrown at a football game, there would be a dissent and two separate concurring opinions.

4> 2-minute penalties can potentially be plea-bargained to 30 seconds probation.

3> Very few fouls called because the refs would spend most of the time on their cell phones.

2> Any time an injured player is carted off the field, the umpire, line judge, and side judge run after him.

and the Number 1 Difference if All Sports Officials Were
Practicing Attorneys…

1> Hockey now more exciting with the addition of a Death Penalty Box.
