LOS ANGELES - After Roger Goodell, commissioner of the National Football League (NFL), dismissed the idea that officials give deference to the Kansas City Chiefs, the NFL Referees Association (NFLRA) released a statement on Feb 4 calling such theories "insulting and preposterous".
The release from NFLRA executive director Scott Green began by thanking Goodell for his comments "about our members' unwavering dedication to fairness and maintaining the integrity of the game".
At issue is the notion that the Chiefs, and specifically three-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Patrick Mahomes, are given favorable treatment when it comes to penalties called (or not called) in-game.
Green, speaking on behalf of the referees' union, no doubt sees the situation differently.
