serious question: Have you ever heard anyone, ever, be critical of a particular crew selection to work a super bowl? I've not been a ref for long but I haven't. From what I see, the response is, almost without fail, 'Joe was a great selection for Umpire, he really worked hard this year and he absolutely deserved it.' It's never 'Wow, can't believe they selected James for Back Judge, he's not near as good as Johnny is, and Johnny's been Back Judge in the NFL for 13 years to James' 4.'
If you've never been critical of a crew selection decision before, but you are now, and you claim that her being a woman doesn't matter, there's a word for that.
I had to work and didn't get to see the SB but from what I have and read, she was sharp and most definitely was not the weakest link on the crew. Where's your criticism around that individual?
