Replacement Refs Debacle

The NFL is in serious danger of losing fans.

In case you missed it, tonight’s game ended with the the most contraversial play in recent memory.

I think most of us were hopeful at first.  We were hopeful that we wouldn’t even notice the absence of the regular refs.  We were hopeful that the game we love, America’s new national pastime, would not be drastically effected by the use of referees that jumped from officiating in the Lingerie Football League to officiating in the National Football League.  The first two weeks of the 2012 season were…bearable.  I think we, as fans, were just happy it was football season again, so we’ve been a little more accepting of the terrible calls than we probably should have been.  Well, that happy and accepting attitude vanished after tonight’s Monday Night football game.

Those who were tolerant of the replacement referees thus far have had one major reason to feel so.  the referees have now literally decided a game.  The was a worst-case scenario come true, and the NFL and Roger Goodell are now in a position where they MUST reach some kind of agreement with the real referees.
