His job is basically to allow the referees to be so bad it generates outrage clicks and he gets a show out of it, but not so bad that it leads to change and negatively affects him and his mates. Luckily for him, he has a lot of wriggle room since fans are all so tribal and every time there's a ridiculous decision, there's always enough fans happy enough that the team they dislike got screwed that they'll be happy to support the current setup.
