Would that change your minds?

If any official can do their job effective enough to get a post-season game as he did, their was wrong doing. If you can't perform your job due to your disability and your employer made a position change to help but still could not do it, then they could offer a supervisor/training position. But to come out and make statements that was in the article, someone needs to be held accountable.
Officials at this level must make the grade, apparently nothing was said in the article that had him down graded with his work but was appointed a respectable post-season game, someone at the conference made a BIG BOO BOO! I wish the guy well and hope things work out so he can get back on the field.
Unfortunately, this has been mad so public that every call made or not made will be even magnified greater. I am sure the $ he wins or settles would not equal the time that he has doing what he loves, it would not me.
