Regardless the sport: Do Refs favor the 'league favorite'
???
What is your thought?
Do you think it is a conspiracy or the truth regardless of the sport?

It happens. Refs, officials, stewards all of them favor the favorite team in all sports. Unfortunately its extremely difficult to provide the evidence to prove the point.

yeah without a doubt.
NBA: you got the possible Kobe v Lebron finals this year. the refs get the call from the office work the games in their favor.
NFL: its possible, refs fixing the games especially when the patriots had their SB run's. and the networks letting them know that New England is getting ratings numbers
one day it will come to light that games were fixed for certain teams favor.

Yeah especially when they are at home. Man Utd at the stretford end/Liverpool at the Kop etc then the referee is obviously gonna feel under more pressure.

Don't forget in World Cups. Bigger, well known countries that bring in more money seem to be favored also imo

Wow, everyone feels this way?
Crazy. I always thought it was just people that were pissed off that their teams lost or something.
