The NFL I know will bury her in court because before they fired her they had their ducks in order, evidence lined up to the point the judge will probably be open to a countersuit.


Her lawyer can just show film of Bill Vinovich and say "He still has a job. Checkmate."

The replacements were even worse. Had fans begging to bring back the same shitty officials as before.


The Packers getting a game stolen from them by one of the worst calls in NFL history was the straw that broke the camel's back. Because of course it was us

Such a great idea to install women in places they don't belong........ .....funny how instead of being appreciative or grateful for the opportunity, its a lawsuit instead. Im so happy to see this........ That is what you get for pandering like a cuck bitch to the idea that "women can do anything a man can do". Pander to the matriarchy and the feminist LBGTQ+, silent P, 2 spirit fricking loser brigade, and you get fricked over. Let this be a lesson.


I don’t normally pay attention to up/downvotes, but the 9 of you who downvoted this need to show and explain yourselves

I bet sgallo was one of them

It's amusing that one of her complaints was that her referee raised his voice to her and was dismissive.


Good thing I am the only one who records what I say before, during and after games......

the white hat's responsibility on a pass play, once the passer sets to throw is the PASSER and nothing else - the other 6 officials on that crew all have their area of focus and keys - as has been said many times since that play.


only 1 official had that call.

Not staying with your keys and area you are supposed to be looking at will get you hosed faster any bad, blown or no call that and a lack of hustle.

They didn't do anything to Vinovich and crew so I side with her.
7 on that crew - that call/no call was ONE officials responsibility - the other 6 ESPECIALLY Vinovich had keys and responsibilities elsewhere.

There is no such thing as a "head ref," but I digress


you may want to check with the nfl

LINK

Position

Offensive backfield, right side of the formation, 15 yards deep and behind the normal Tight End position

General Responsibilities

Wears the white cap, known as the crew chief and leader of the officiating crew
Oversees everything related to the officials and maintains the pace of the game
Verbally and visually communicates all fouls

Determines first downs or if a measurement is necessary


crew chief yes even in kiddy ball but head ref denotes being head of all refs on a crew there is only ONE ref

The fact no ref has ever been fired for performance besides her.
I know 2 from NFL, 7 college and even more told go away or just never assigned in HS.

assigners at every level dilligently try to send the best crews out there. If ya'll ever had the opportunity to sit in or read a crew or official's review/grading of a game ya'll would be amazed at how many little things go into it. Look at the this way on a pass play if all the o linemen just stood up and watched the pass it would be a disaster...... same for officials.

Most of y'all also have absolutely NO clue how fast the game is now adays - at field level and up close and personal.


Should a player be fired for running the wrong route, dropping a pass, missing a block, a stupid costly penalty.... NO....

3 NFL coaches I have talked to have a very different opine of Vinovich than most of you on this board.
