We love football, we just want the regular refs back. The regular experienced refs have been locked by the NFL, which has more money than God. The replacement refs have turned out to be incompetent. Too many games have been decided by controversial calls, many of them obviously wrong. Speaking of lockouts, aren’t you ticked off about what is happening in the NHL?
The two sports that I like are embroiled in labor disputes at the same time.Does that qualify as a foul? Send those scab referees back to the Lingerie League! Oh, wait. The LFL fired them for imcompetence earlier this year! (I’m not making this up.) At least the NHL lockout should boost attendence for the Southern Professional Hockey League. Go Ice Bears!
First off. Very funny Mr. Heller! Good job! Best of this genre so far. . As to the strike… Does it strike anyone else the irony of people complaining about putting inexperienced boobs in the place of trained professionals being the same “Angry white male” voters that will send some schmuck to Washington instead of a “professional politician!”? It strikes me as funny. . Secondly, I like that they are screwing up in that we see the gambling industry up in arms. Without a competent set of Refs to make sure that all games are about the teams’ qualities and executions the game is just gambling. .
I have a better idea…how about everyone quit going to ANY games until the greedhead owners figure out that it’s JUST A DAMNGAME, and not the most important thing in the world! Once they start losing money hand over fist due to giving the Prima Dona thug players Bazillion $$ contracts that they have to pay even when NO ONE shows up at the stadiums, they might figure it out! And quit watching the games on television, so the networks start to lose all that ad revenue, as well.
This is why I like NASCAR; when they screw up, the owner of said car(s) usually demands a review right away…and if NASCAR turns out to be wrong, they apologize before the race is over. . Besides, if y’all need a “football fix”, do what my Dad does every Saturday: watch the College level games. They’re still using the “regular” refs in that league….
Joe Heller has been the staff editorial cartoonist for the Green Bay Press-Gazette since 1985. His cartoons appear in more than 350 publications, making him the most self-syndicated cartoonist in the nation.

Sorry, that’s wrong. The replacement signal means I’m being robbed.
