Watching the Steelers v. Raiders game, and I am absolutely flabbergasted that Ryan Mundy did not get a flag and thrown out of the fucking game for that hit on Darius Heyward-Bey. I hope the league office fines him steeply and suspends him for a couple games. It was clear helmet to helmet contact, and just a vicious illegal hit. On top of that, the illegal pick in the first quarter that took out the other Oakland cornerback temporarily, the missed call on the douchebag attacking Ben’s knees, the missed holding calls and everything else these refs have screwed up or missed, and this is just a fucking disgrace. These refs are as bad at calling games as David Gregory is at calling out Republican lies.
And yes, I know I am a Steelers homer, but this shit is unacceptable. And yes, I know it is a rough game, but these refs are going to get someone killed. This isn’t about being a homer, this is about the integrity of the game and absolutely unnecessary violence. With the concussion issue already out there, the NFL union busting efforts at the expense of these players makes me want to vomit.
Just unacceptable. No one is in control of the game. Fuck you Goodell. These are people and your most valuable commodity, and you are just willing to get them killed to save a paltry 200k a year per team. God damned disgrace.
