NFL fires three officials in ‘accountability’ crackdown

The NFL appears to be cracking down on shoddy refereeing.

The league fired three officials in what footballzebras.com described as vice president of officiating training and development Ramon George “advancing accountability among the officiating ranks,” following a postseason that included several notable referee controversies.

In a deviation from normal standards, though, the referees received soft landings, being sent to college football power conferences due to George’s maneuvering, per the report.

So, in effect, they sent them down to the minors.
