They can't do nothing: the league has painted themselves into a corner. They've bet the farm that nobody will care about the replacement refs, that they can make the sausage from roadkill and the fans will keep eating it. They have to shut up the factory workers to keep up the pretense.
Were I Belichick, I'd tell the league to stick it in their ear, and I wouldn't pay. If they want to try to fire me over the action, let 'em.
