Still Damned Mad!

Good Afternoon Everyone!
I haven't even gotten to read your replies from my last entry, but at this moment I have a big ole' favor to ask of you... 

Read on...


I was SO proud of myself last night; mission accomplished, I did stay awake until the end of the game!
I am almost sorry I did so.

Earlier in the game, bored, I did a little channel-hopping. then I almost fell asleep. Fortunately Jerry called about 9, and so I was W-I-D-E awake then! (Thank you Jerry)!

Please take a minute, even if you didn't see it, to sign the petition below?

Love to all


XOXO
Me

PS
My own thoughts are if they cannot end this strike, then we need to hold off playing ALL games until such an accord is reached.
The league is way off base holding this over the refs heads anyway.
If you want a little background, the league wants all the refs, as part of their pact, to ensure that this will be their only full-time job. The league is not willing to pay them for this though.
They work one a week for cryin' out loud! And most have full time
 jobs already!
Go figure.

Go PACK!!!!


Here's what I rec'd in my email...

The National Football League (NFL) has locked out its official referees over a contract dispute. Three weeks into the season, replacement referees are still on the field.

In last night's game of the Green Bay Packers against the Seattle Seahawks, the replacement refs ruled that the Seahawks caught a game-winning touchdown, when it was clear the Packers had intercepted the ball. And the Packers lost because of it.

The NFL's use of replacement referees threatens the integrity of the game and could lead to serious player injuries. We need the most competent, highly trained officials on the field immediately. With the NFL making more than $9 billion a year in revenue, it seems like it's within their ability to come to an agreement with referees over a pension plan, which has been the biggest issue resulting in referees being locked out of a contract.

UPDATE: There were numerous blown calls in Week 1.
The NFL needs to end this farce before a game is unfairly decided or a player is injured.  

UPDATE 2: Well, the worst has come to pass.
The NFL's use of replacement referees has cost a team the game. Sorry, Packers fans.
The NFL clearly cares more about $ than about providing an honest game. 

If the NFL gets away with this one, they can get away with anything. How long before a player is seriously hurt because of incompetent officiating?

We MUST get as many fans to sign this as we can.
Please SIGN and SHARE! The more of us who are united, the more noise we can make!
