Another exciting season of Refball!

Took me a minute, lol.

I’m sorry if you’re a Detroit Lions fan, Joe….

That sign is also used for the MLB umpires who call the balls and strikes.

Braille for those that can not see.. or bullet holes?

LOL! based on recent games braille is appropriate!!

I remember a line from “Damn Yankee’s”. " You’re blind Ump! You’re blind Ump! You must be out of your mind Ump!"

I sometimes wonder if they have Braille signs that say “Don’t touch”?

It’s easy to trash the officials but the problem is much bigger. It seems about impossible to rule out serious injury from a violent game.

Isn’t justice supposed to be blind?

I was hoping for an even subtler joke, but as far as I’m able to tell, the Braille signs all say the same thing as the text.

I’ve never, ever, read where any NFL ref has been penalized for stupid, or non-calls that have changed the outcome of a game. Same goes for the umpires in baseball. As for the former American pass-time, bring on the robots and get rid of the umps !
