The National Football League has finally come up with an agreement about the huge issue of replacement referees on Wednesday, September 26th. After the Green Bay Packers took a debatable loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night, their was a vast controversy regarding replacement referees. “Our officials will be back on the field starting tomorrow night,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said. Officials are not overturning this call which is calling for much outrage. Many say that this is one of the greatest injustices in NFL history.
This story was big enough to appear as the top story on the sports page of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. I really liked how the AJC found a way to incorporate the Atlanta Falcons into this situation. The article titled, "NFL reaches agreement with officials," shared views on what different Falcons players thought of the play at the end of the Green Bay-Seattle game. The Falcons players were also perplexed by how the game ended just as well as everyone else.
Players and coaches are being fined for different incidents involving replacement referees. People obviously feel strongly about this issue and also the need to voice their opinions. Coaches and players are willing to be fined thousands of dollars in an attempt to end the NFL referee lockout.
Many say that they could understand both sides of the argument. I honestly think that it depends on whether perception is actual reality. If officials can all honestly agree that this was a fair call with all of the controversy and criticism that the NFL has gotten, then there is a problem. It is not only the two teams that are involved, but it is everyone who actually watched the game. Their are many mixed opinions about what happened or what should have happened on Monday night.
