Aint Nobody Got Time for That (Weekly Segment)

 

Will the Real Ref’s please stand up?!?!?

By Joaquin M. Turley, Jr.

Now, I know I’m not the only one that is scratching their head about these new refs calling these games in the NFL. Today's “express” (A Washington metropolitan paper) has a picture of a clown in a ref uniform on the front cover with a title caption that reads “What a joke.” This is my and many others sentiments exactly. I mean we all are aware that football is one of if not the biggest sport in America. So because this is a billion dollar industry we need everything to be in place. The cheerleaders, players and refs!!!!! These most egregious errors are helping the NFL see how important the referee’s really are to the sport of football. These incorrect calls have affected too many games thus far this season. From Baltimore vs New England to Monday night’s square off between the Packers and the Seahawks; we all see how one call can change the entire picture of a game. The issue has gotten so big now that there is even a quote from President Barack Obama in the express paper today that reads, “Terrible, I’ve been saying for months we’ve gotta get our refs back.” Clearly aint nobody got time for this!!!!

This is becoming a national issue that needs to be resolved quickly for the NFL’s sake. Perhaps the biggest blow is to fans that bet on the game that reportedly lost an astonishing 300 million dollars. We are living in a recession and nobody got time for that. You know some people lost their rent money fooling around with these refs. The NFL is just dead wrong. They need to get the real refs who are trained to make these calls their money so they can get back to their job and the games can be called accurately. It seems the league and the refs are unable to come to an agreement over pay and pension. Apparently this lock-out with the refs has been taking place since June. That is too long and too much is riding on these games for these issues to continuously happen. Aint nobody got time for this at all. Hopefully the NFL doesn’t lose many of their devoted fan bases because of this issue. They better think long and hard because by the time we get to the playoff’s I am going to go OFF if this isn’t resolved. One thing is for sure the quickest way for the lock-out to be over is for the fans to speak their minds. Fans have more power then they think and if they start to voice an opinion the league has no choice but to listen because the fans are the ones tailgating and buying the tickets that keep the NFL machine running.

*Update* I am soooo extremely glad that these fools were able to reach an agreement. Here’s hoping that we can have good clean games this weekend.
