NFLRA says theories that officials favor Chiefs ‘insulting’ | ESPN
A day after Goodell called it a “ridiculous theory,” NFLRA executive director Scott Green said in a statement that Goodell’s comments were “spot on.”
League rules prohibit officials from speaking publicly except in postgame pool reports that are monitored by the league. But Green, a retired referee speaking on behalf of the officiating union, pointed out that crews don’t work more than two of any team’s games.
“It is insulting and preposterous to hear conspiracy theories that somehow 17 officiating crews consisting of 138 officials are colluding to assist one team,” Green said.
