The most consistently blown call in major sports

[UATrewqaz]

This is in my opinion the most CONSISTENTLY blown call, not necessarily the most frequent (i'd also like to hear others opinions, sport + call)

Football:

Refs ruling that a player tackcled in the endzone somehow made forward progress out of the endzone and spotting the ball at the inch line rather than ruling it a saftey.

How about the holding they could call on every single play of every single football game in both pro and college?

Yeah. That was a big B.S. call in last weekends Browns game.

Ugh. I hate when people say this. Clearly the calls are relative, since they let minor holds go major holds are the only ones which are penalized. It's not like holding occurs every play and refs arbitrarily decide when to call it or not.

Basketball:

Calling travel, carry, double dribble, etc

Baseball:

Whether a batter went around or not. 90% of the time they do if you see it from the right angle, it isnt called often enough.

This is a pretty good selection. Also, sometimes with interceptions they pretend the guy caught the ball in the end zone and give him a touchback.

I assume you don't want nitty stuff like rarely calling palming/traveling in the NBA, never enforcing the back line of batter's box, and not calling holding on every single play in football?

So my contribution is the phantom double play. I'd estimate less than 75% of 4-6-3's are actual double plays.

If you go by the literal interpretation of the rules, holding occurs on every play. I understand that it's relative and why it isn't constantly being called but they ought to rewrite the rule so it can be called consistently across the board.

1) NBA - traveling (every time someone catches a pass, they immediately travel)
2) MLB - the strike zone (hint: the top of the strike zone is NOT the belt - I'm sick of seeing letter-high pitches called balls - let's stroke off the hitters just a little more to get more jackasses with ADD to watch baseball)
