TAMPA, FL—Sarah Thomas, the first female referee to officiate in a Super Bowl, threw a flag on a play in the second quarter but refused to say what was wrong.
"Penalty, on the offense -- you know what, never mind. It's fine," she said after throwing a flag on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"Wait -- what'd I do wrong?" asked Tom Brady indignantly.
"Nothing. I said it was fine," she said, folding her arms.
"It doesn't seem like it's fine. You threw a flag!" Brady responded.
She shrugged and turned away. "No, it's totally fine. Go and play football with your friends. It's fine."
Play proceeded without any consequences, though she glared bitterly at Brady throughout the next few plays.
Meanwhile, the male referees displayed their toxic masculinity by awarding extra yards for players who exhibited unnecessary roughness and also giving them a manly chest bump and a "right on, bro."
Ahhhhh...the Bee stung me....again...
And now he gets the silent treatment for 3 days.
Her reason to the men, “you’re supposed to know.”
The Bee’s slipping. Didn’t go after Goodell for an “explanation”.
I remember seeing it, but I thought it touched the ground, too.................
She-splaining?
At least she’s blonde
The KC player actually told her to get back in the kitchen and make him a sammich!
What woman wants to be in a job with four periods in the same week?
Back many years ago, I officiated high school football. I loved it, but my wife made me quit when our first child was born. What follows is a true story.
We were officiating a game one night where the home team was all white. The visiting team was nearly all black. All the officials on the field were white. We had no blacks in our association.
During a dead ball, while the offense was lining up to run a play, the head linesman (on the visiting side) threw his flag and blew the play dead.
The Referee goes over and says, “Whatcha got?”
HL says, “Unsportsmanlike conduct.”
Referee: “What did he do?”
HL: “I don’t want to say.”
Referee: “I’ve got to tell them something.”
HL: “He called me a ‘homo’”
Referee laughing: “Joe, he didn’t call you a ‘homo’, he called you a ‘homey’!!!”
The Referee proceeds to waive off the flag.
No telling how many times that story has been told by the local football officials association!
Me too.
Took me a wile to look up and see it was the Babylon Bee.
I don’t wanna talk about it........................
The way it looked to me is that the ball bounced off the fingers of the Chiefs player, and never touched the ground. They didn’t spend much time on it, though.
‘You know what’s wrong.”
Isn’t that the truth !
-PJ
Me too
"That bitch be out for me!"
Yeah, by that time it wouldn’t have made any difference one way or the other.................
I’m starting to hate when the Babylon Bee does this.
Because I’ve noticed of late, that almost everything they publish very
quickly becomes absolutely factual.
