Adding video to channels (Controversy) - requested by MrFisk.

This was made more relevant the past couple weeks as the country ERUPTED in anger at the fact we have "Replacement Refs" making bad calls in NFL games. It was just shocking, I was seeing this shit reported up to the minute on the BBC. Every news channel and website was constantly harping on it, but that wasn't the worst part. THE WORST PART of this was the fans, the people in this country who's lives are being fucked over by the government and corporations. Their major concern was that some refs weren't doing a good enough job and the good refs were at home instead. It's ridiculous.

The American people deserve the country they have and the country they work for. I love sports, I'm a referee, it's my Job. But I understand better than most the difference between Sport and Life. Some people brag about a certain sport being their Life. Those people have never been foreclosed on, or had to watch their children walk to school with no breakfast. This country man, I'm just fucking sick every day.
