In your opinion, was that a bad call or not?

One, specify which call.  Two, not caring who wins, I haven't seen a really bad call.

Did I learn something from this question, or not.

depends on how bad it is.  if it's really blatantly bad, i will answer then report them, if it's not too bad, i'll just answer it.

no, that's not a good manner

It is your point.  It does not matter if your team did totally miss it , your call.   That's why the serving team always has to play the point.  You guys could miss a line call on a first serve and they will still have to play it if you do  not make the call.  Guys would be calling lets on all your good returns if the rule was reversed.  It is your point, that is the rule and that is how it should be.

yeh it depends on location and his commitment.  if he says ur calling too much, then ur calling too much. otherwise, dont listen to the pessimists

It's morally incorrect, even though it may be a relatively minor offense compared to some of the things we see happen these days.\n\nPlease be considerate and respect people enough not to harass them over the phone.\n\nI suggest listening to Weird Al's song, "Phony Calls."

Well I don't think the game swung because of the reffing. I'm a huge Colts fan but the Steelers obviously outplayed them......look at the first half. I think the game was won by the best team that day. And what an exciting ending! Wow did Bettis breathe a sigh of relief or what?? \n\nAs for the call? *shrugs* Don't you wish you could be the ref sometimes?

Yeah, it was a bad call, a very bad call in the eighth inning.  Even Stevie Wonder would have been able to see that.  This is another example why baseball needs instant replay, that call wouldn't have been reversed if there had been replay.  Japan should boycott.

The Aussies were ripped off. \n\nBad, bad call. Not fair.....!!

Yep, I saw the ball touch the stripe before getting pushed back.   Was a good call.  (and I agree not all of the calls were good ones that day!)

I think it was a bad idea.

No.  Are you disappointed?

bad call, but not the reason the US lost.

Italy won, we lost. If the referee had done his job properly, Australia wouldn't be out of the competition.\nWhat is with all the bad calls? It isn't targeted at anyone in particular there have been mistakes in most games.\nOn the world stage this is ludicrous.

I did not pay.  Do you think that was right?

David Stern fining Mark Cuban for properly (if colorfully) criticizing NBA officiating, which is the worst in the world outside of the Olympic Games.  Stern and the entire IOC, past and present, should be sent to Iraq.\n\nDon Denkinger's infamous call is the most obvious of baseball's bad calls, but at least MLB umpires are the best-trained of all officials and can be forgiven most of their mistakes.  Umpires can also be very forebearing at times; when a provocation is accidental, they will often let it slide unless the other person escalates it.\n\nI understand there were some really bad red cards in the current World Cup series.\n\nAs for Olympic officiating, not only do we have the basketball scandal but also the recent figure-skating scandal that resulted in duplicate golds and a few questionable decisions in gymnastics as well.  The IOC (International Olympic Committee) is particularly bad, and has been a nasty piece of business for nearly 100 years, from the domination of Avery Brundage to Samanranch, to today.\n\nBut even sleazier than making a bad call is accepting the favorable result of a bad call.  On November 16, 1940, Cornell had defeated Dartmouth as the result of a bad call that gave the Big Red a fifth down.  When the mistake was discovered, the team voted to voluntarily forfeit the game even though they did not have to do this.  The decision cost Cornell the game, an undefeated season and possibly the national championship.  That, folks, is sportsmanship.
