The NFL released a statement pushing back on prevalent theories that its referees have helped the Kansas City Chiefs get to the Super Bowl, calling them “insulting and preposterous.”
In a press release from the NFL Referees Association (NFLRA), the union representing all NFL officials, it maintained its efforts to ensure the fairness and integrity of the game.
“[NFL] Commissioner Goodell’s comments that it is ‘ridiculous’ to presume that NFL Officials are not doing everything possible to make the right call on every play is spot on,” Scott Green, Executive Director of the NFLRA, said in the release.
“Officiating crews do not work the same team more than twice each regular season,” he added. “It is insulting and preposterous to hear conspiracy theories that somehow 17 officiating crews consisting of 138 officials are colluding to assist one team.”
