Should "we" as fellow officials and/or labor union supporters not watch NFL games until the referees and the NFL come to an agreement? I haven't seen or heard any calls to do so by referees, though, I did hear a 10 second clip on ESPN about a semi-boycott in Philly by AFL/CIO. Just wanted to know what other referees thought of the situation.
For the record, my initial reaction was, boycott the games. Now I am kind of on the fence, in part because I feel like I may be standing alone. Am I?
Watch the games at home and don't tell anyone.
If you are checking the book for the ratings people. Put your time on the Discovery Channel.
Or, don't watch any TV and install a "closet fan".
