Actually no one is up in arms about them, just telling it like it is. BTW, I have about 3 people that are actual FB friends of mine and I have worked with that crossed. The very same thing I told you here, I would tell them and have said to one of them. They are going to be used as a pawn and when this is all done they will not work much games. Only one has a potential career in college after this, but his advancement will end right where he is. That is a choice he had to make and even he recognized how bad the "overall group" has looked based on what the media has pointed out or certain official. Even the guy that worked the Hall of Fame game (I worked a college game with him last year and he is in one of my associations) was basically bounced from his crew chief position and it is doubtable that he will work a real NFL game. He was used for what they wanted and now his is thrown away. And probably will not likely work many of what he was doing before his big time jump in the spotlight.

It is a land of opportunity, but it is a land of consequences. If you make the wrong choice you will suffer from those choices. And if it was worth it just to say you worked an NFL game but having nothing to come back to, then I guess it is worth it.
