At least put two more refs on the field

to cut down on flopping, arguing, and lengthy appeals to VAR. Basketball uses 3 refs for a much smaller surface area.

I've seen objections to this proposal that then there'd be a crisis of authority on the field, which is laughable. I've literally never seen refs or umps get into a squabble that lasted more than a few seconds.
