All my life I have grown up a huge football fan. My family and I watch football every Sunday and its a part of a tradition. This year when the NFL referees went on strike and I didn't think that it would be as big of a deal as it has became. I noticed that the refs were pretty bad during the first week but during Monday night football the week is when it really stuck out to me. The Denver Broncos were playing the Atlanta Falcons and the referees were calling really bad, potentially game changing calls that were not fair. I know as a huge Denver Bronco fan I would want all the calls to go against the Falcons, but then the games aren't fun. This last Monday night game was ridiculous, there were so many penaltys that were unnessary that it made fans really upset. Every knows that the catch on Monday night was an interception not a touchdown. Finding out on Tuesday that there were 70,000 voicemails left at the NFL offices, made me realize how much the NFL should care abou the situation. If they didn't get the referees in fast, they wouldn't be getting the viewers that they would need. Thank you Roger Goodell for bringing back the refereees and making NFL football enjoyable for America.
