As more and more details are arising about the situation, it appears that the league is even more bush that I originally thought. I will correct myself and say that the US refs are not scabs, but I do think they missed some due diligence. The whole situation is something crazy really.

Sad state of adulthood.

Rion has repeatedly offerd bad information to the officials, media, and US refs (assume that he contacted the US refs). He's not a relaible source.
TXMike: personally, I see the league improving because of this fiasco. People with first-hand knowledge have said that Rion was over his head in the league. If you don't see why the officials should take action because of a league not enforcing it's own policies where harrassment of an official is concerned, then perhaps you should stay to on-field duties. And as for your "never happen", that's what we thought here too.
Nobody ever thinks that their house will be broken in to, that their car will be stolen, etc.... but that's when life hits ya.
The posted article/link is clearly against the officials because it doesn't clarify events that support the officials' stance, but focuses on the league's/Mills' stance. Even the article author can't copy and paste Rion correctly (find Ryan).
But as usual we will find out more and time progresses, and the officials will come out strong. Word is that Rion has resigned. Or is it that Ryan has resigned?
