It's flag happy for a variety of reasons like:
- they keep adding rules
- the players are more athletic and capable than ever resulting in virtual parity on every play meaning players continue to seek advantages
- there is some weird cultural need to "perfect" the game that seemingly everyone supports including the league, players coaches and fans
None of this is because the refs as a whole are bad.
The replacement refs will be required to call the game similarly...they'll just not be as good at it. Could mean even MORE flags.
