text: I think what it is referring to is the lack of accountability by all referee's in alot of different sports.  True soccer referee's (which I happen to be on for 7 years) are out there on an island and we have the benefit of watching replays, but all officials should have some sort of grading system or be called out when they make a mistake.  If I make a mistake at my job, I get called on it.  What makes officials, especially soccer referee's immune to it?
