Which sport has the worst referees/umpires?

[comfortably numb]

Whether it's football, baseball, basketball or hockey, you got to admit, there are some awful officials out there. You know, the ones that cost your favorite team the game. Which of these sports has the very worst officials....and why?

Baseball, without question, has the worst. The NBA has the best officials.

Hockey has the best; NBA has the worst...plus the NBA refs have been known to throw games!!! As far as baseball, if they took advantage of technology, a computer could call balls and strikes perfectly, and you could hire any fat guy to stand behind the catcher and read what the computer says and shout "ball!" or "strike!"...pay him $50 plus all the beer and hot dogs he can eat between innings!!!

One NBA ref was known to throw games lol. I have no idea why I put NBA though, that was supposed to say NFL!

I would say that the NBA was the worst "officiating situation", just because calling fouls are so subjective. Not to speak of the officials themselves, I'm sure most of them do the best they can, but they have it harder than anyone else IMO.

NFL probably has the best.
