I am a +25 year state government employee. I learned a long time ago that I am never going to be portrayed in a positive light by the media in my vocation or my avocation.
It was attempting to send a message about compassion, as in "the ref might have screwed you over, but it wasn't on purpose and now he needs our help because he looks like a drown rat right now." Most of us would have at least took off the hat and stripped off the shirt after a game but the tv /movie industry rarely accurately portrays us and for this commercial, would have lost the impact of what it was trying to say.
