Now that the NFL has donated $30 Million dollars to brain research in hopes of saving the lives of past and future players, don’t you think the league can come to terms with its referees?
If the NFL is willing to spend millions to help save the lives of retired players, why aren’t they investing in saving the lives of the guys who are on the playing field?
The league is actually starting the regular season tonight with replacement refs!
Look, the game of football is at a crossroads! We all know how dangerous it is and many of us have wondered, or are now wondering, if we even want our kids to play the game at all.
One of the key elements of safety is a referee who knows the rules and holds the players accountable! And unfortunately, that’s not happening in the NFL right now with replacement refs!
Memo to Commissioner Roger Goodell: Get off your high horse and get the regular refs back into the game. Let’s help save some lives before it’s too late!
That’s Fouhy on Sports!
