Who’s protecting the integrity of the game?
The locked out officials who make more as part time workers than most full-time workers and whose absence is, according to some, lowering the quality of the game?
The NFL players and coaches who are actively trying to take advantage of the replacement referee’s inexperience by bullying or manipulating them?
The sports media who have clearly taken sides against the NFL owners and are blowing up every little call and non-call the replacement officials make into controversies, creating the impression of a league in chaos?
Or the NFL owners, who, faced with a labor issue created by their current officials and compounded by forced solidarity from college officials, had to rely on more inexperienced people to officiate the games? These replacement officials have been receiving constant training from the league the entire time so the NFL could continue with it’s season.
Just wondering.
