No doubt in my mind Rossi and a few others get special treatment. Sports, like anything else is a microseism of life. All you have to do is look to see who gets special treatment at your job, your government, etc.; to know it happens and its human nature. Anybody who denies it is one of the following: naive, ignorant, or lying. Many chalk it up to a "bad call" by the officials or rationalize it, "he was behind, he was ahead" etc. Yeah there are some bad calls, its funny though cause some of those "funny calls" keep benefiting the same people. Have you noticed that "rationalize" looks like rational-lies?
