“Fuck it NFL.. Fine me and use the money to pay the regular refs.”
Packer TJ Lang voices his frustration
In September the Seattle Seahawks went head-to-head with
the Green Bay Packers. The now-infamous final play was called by a
“replacement ref” due to a labor standoff with the referees’ union. That
call generated 1+ million Tweets as players and fans flocked to Twitter
to grouse about the decision. TJ’s Tweet became the most retweeted of
the night — and of the NFL season overall.
