Saw a Budweiser commercial while watching the NFL yesterday. Not being a football official, but having officiated other sports, I thought it was a little offensive. Wondering what the football guys think. Here's what happened:

The commercial starts by showing the officials in a conference after a flag has been thrown. The referee breaks from the conference, turns on his mike and announces a penalty, I don't remember what, specifically. After he is finished, he turns as if to resume the game, but hesitates. He turns back to the camera, turns his mike back on and says, "Remember that pass interference call we blew last quarter? Consider this call a make up for that!" Then it faded to black and the "Budweiser - True" logo was displayed.

What do you all think?
