You know, what I'm afraid of is that fans will tune in to games of no local interest just because of the car crash/train wreck rubbernecking effect---they'll watch games to see just how bad the sub refs are. Used to be only gamblers or stone football junkies who'd watch the 4 PM NFC game on Fox. Now, casual fans will tune in and drive the ratings even higher.
Kind of like professional wrestling in the old days, where something would "distract" the ref when a bad guy reached into his shorts and pulled out the infamous "foreign object".
