Stop Billy Packer - Take Action

[canuckrefguy]

Great idea, but the examples you give in your petition letter are kind of weak - and basically boil down to "Packer says this about the refs, and as a ref, I don't agree." That doesn't cut it. He's a commentator - he's SUPPOSED to comment. The fact you don't agree with his assessment is irrelevant, and, as some have already stated, only reinforces the notion that people are watching.

The big gripe we have with this guy is that he clearly does not know the rules of basketball, as played in the NCAA - and continually verbalizes this ignorance on the air - which misinforms and, in some cases, misleads the public about how the game is supposed to be played and administered.

Nice effort, though....your heart is in the right place. But I have to agree with the others - it'd take something major to get him pulled off the air - maybe a racial comment or something (a la Jimmy The Greek).
