I used to follow this account on Twitter I think it was called Bad Sports Refs or something in that vein and it was exactly what it promised to be.

It was just refs blowing calls in sports horribly and the social dynamic was a big part of

the draw for me because people go in there they would see what was just an

an arguably bad missed call and then they'd all pile on it was kind of fun

because you get mostly agreement but also part of the fun was inevitably you would have people who

root for the team that benefited from the botched call and they'd be in there being like no

if you look close like the ball is still kind of

moving and no like from this angle I well it might look like that from the camera

angle but I think and they would just talk themselves into wild pretzels of logical dishonesty to try and

justify the fact that their team got lucky and benefited from a thing.

But every now and then you would have something come down the pike there with one of these bad call videos where a ref would miss something or an umpire would miss something so in arguably glaring that it would

unify the internet for just that one glistening beautiful little moment where

everybody would be like no we all agree we have all verified this using our five

senses and have determined that indeed that call was wrong and surely if the

umpire or ref was watching the clip as well they'd be like yeah I got that one wrong and my

favorite ever is this clip from what I think is a Mexican Baseball League is somewhere in Latin America

and it's everything's normal there's a pitcher he's throwing pitches to a batter and if you're not a baseball person

that's all right this is still gonna make sense.

The pitcher winds up and he throws the pitch and it's a good pitch which means that

even if the batter doesn't swing it's a good pitch, which means that even if the batter doesn't swing, it's a strike.

The umpire is going to rule it a strike.

But the batter does swing and he misses, which means the umpire doesn't have to do anything.
