What if someone sued the ACC officiating team

[orangenauburn]

Say a gambler with significant money lost a huge bet because poor officials and sued.

What would happen

That game was on par with a Rutgers for worst officiated game ever.

Exactly-it’s a fraud on the betting public.

 

[upperdeck]

I think just sue to make them open up the replay system so people have a clue what they are looking at..

Literally nothing.

It would be laughed out of court.

I feel your pain, but this is a non-starter.

The only way way you could win a case like that would be to prove intent. Incompetence is not a crime.

I assume it would eventually go all the way up to the Supreme Court.

Idk. People with bank roll could do damage and upend the system

I’m sick of this debate about poor officiating. It is what it is. It’s obviously BS but the ACC makes more money and gets more publicity when FSU is winning. Not when Syracuse is winning. They will always get the benefit. You’re the red headed step child. You have to play above it but this team lacks the talent, coaching and discipline to do that.

I'm actually contacting a cousin of mine who graduated duke law about this, tonight.

It's ridiculous and if no one does anything it will continue

How exactly do
You get above it when the officiating continues to keep you down?

It’s not an objective position and really not worth your time trying to understand it.

Time to say goodbye to the ACC. today’s game is just another where the refs would not let us have a chance…..it’s sickening

And go where?

 

[storange]

And go where?

Honestly I don’t know, but I’m puking once again.

Pretty sure this was tried by Saints fans in that infamous Rams game. A tad bigger game that this one

It should have been a bettor bringing the suit as they would have actual monetary damages to show vs a season ticket holder’s “enjoyment”.

You can’t sue to alter the outcome of a game based on a missed/poor/biased call from an official. Courts have ruled that officiating, good or bad, is simply part of the game.

However, that’s different than SU raising hell over the consistent, obvious, almost unethical behavior by the ACC refs against Syracuse. That’s a different issue which would require a different strategy.

It should start by SU filing grievances with the ACC over the consistently bad officiating, almost always going against SU. Demand a full investigation. Raise hell. It would piss off the ACC officials, but they would know they are being watched, which may alter their behavior to SU’s benefit, or at least getting balanced officiating.

If these refs are continually allowed to be blatantly biased against SU we will always be the victim. We need to stand up and raise hell.

This feels like an Onion article.

"Fans of every sports team in the history of Planet Earth convinced widespread officiating conspiracy exists against their favorite team."

It was a missed holding call. It totally sucked. It's part of sports.

There were quite a few other controversial calls and non-calls, all going in FSU’s favor. You expect those calls to break 50/50 for both teams. That wasn’t the case today. It hasn’t been the case when we play ACC conference games.

Bias is a real thing. It’s okay to understand that SU is the outsider, northerner school that joined the ACC more recently. It’s okay to understand we’re not a chosen school by the ACC. Bias is out there against us. It is real. What we decide to do about it is another thing.

Unfortunately this is the truth. We see it with virtually all of our institutions. Being a completely incompetent knucklehead is not sufficient for a hanging.
