NFL Takes Ref’s Game Check for Profanity
Imagine if you had to perform your job in front of a live audience of about 70,000 people while millions more watch you on television, always ready to criticize every decision that you make.

However, let’s be real people. The NFL shows plenty of suggestive beer ads during these “family” telecasts. No pay for a “God d*mn it” when Corrente clearly made an honest mistake? He didn’t even drop an F-bomb. Have any of these executives from the league office spent time outside of their suites at NFL stadiums and heard some of the language that fans use in the stands? NFL games are emotional rollercoasters, and even the referees are not immune from hopping on for a ride on the“F@#K it” express from time to time during a game. The NFL knew that when they gave the refs mics in the first place. Here’s to Corrente getting his money for an honest day’s work this Sunday. Mic check 1, 2.
