they have consistently raised the bar in expecting what part time officials can do.

All of these nuanced player protection, what is a catch and PI rules have changed. The fact the NFL and CFB refs are still middle aged weekend warriors has not.

MLB,otoh, uses full time umpires who replay has proven to be exceptional at everything except balls and strikes which they are working to remove humans from.

so, no, IMO, it isn’t just because social media amplifies the outrage.
