If it did, does that allow fans that are frustrated with players performing poorly to throw stuff at them? And...now your argument holds no water. Huge difference between yelling at someone and actually throwing something at them. But yea, fans are more then welcome to yell at the players. Been happening for decades.
LABILLBACKER Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 4 hours ago, Fadingpain said: With the $$$ the NFL generates and the stature of the sport in American culture, it is inexcusable for the old school system of officiating to continue in the NFL, using amateur old men lawyers and what not to do the job. Should be a professional career like MLB has, with the guys cutting their teeth in smaller college divisions, then big time NCAA football maybe, then feed that into the NFL with guys who know what the hell they are doing. This is nothing new; the sport needed to shift to that type of system probably 25 years ago. Couldn't agree more. These refs need to be substantially younger. They need to be full time. And they need to train at the D1 level. I cringe every week waiting to hear what awful crew we'll get this week. Sunday we get to pick a Booger....
The Wiz Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 So the refs are now protected by the "snowflake" rule where someone complaining to them hurts their feelings and they can flag them for it. Great. If that's the case Brady should have about 15 flags a game. 1 minute ago, LABILLBACKER said: Couldn't agree more. These refs need to be substantially younger. They need to be full time.

I'm kinda curious what their rap sheet looks like this season.

If you read the OP you will see offensive contact mentioned. Offensive contact, physical or otherwise is in the memo.

Jay_Fixit Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 Great. So what is he gonna do about the refs abuse of the teams?

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 Don't know, off for 7 days. Go back Thursday probably to find ice forming. But, when I fire up the bubblers (to break up the ice), I will give them a shot of oxygen... To help them through the winter!

Supreme court JUDGES are called judges but they are almost always laywers; so are congressmen and senators. But in this case it appears true.
Freddie's Dead Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) This is hilarious, especially coming from Troy "I broke Losman's leg just to teach that B word a lesson" Vincent. As said upthread, by all means, let's not question the ref's ancestry or sexual proclivities while Gronk isn't ejected from the game for deliberately injuring a player. As for what Jerry said that got him tossed, Bull Durham answered that question. I've never seen [Jerry] so angry. But frankly, sports fans, he used a certain word that's a no-no with [referees]. He must have called him a c-sucker. Edited December 13, 2017 by Freddie's Dead 1
