NFL Refs Autographs

[BobbyFK]

I would think there would be something in the rule book prohibiting refs from getting autographs. Because then next game when that player is playing that ref might be more lenient because he got an autograph from said player

Excellent point Bobby

Wow. Can you imagine if a player said "NO" to the refs asking for an autograph????
A player has to feel trapped/required to sign if they ask, right?

If they don't, they'll get a BS unsportsman like call in the next game and kicked out.

If a grown man is asking another man for an autograph unless it is for some sick kid or something he should be ashamed of himself.

Kind of embarrassing isn't it.

I might do it if I had Judge's 62 HR baseball and a signature would make it worth $$$ so I could sell it...

Nfl promotes gambling on games now. Who would have ever thought that would happen.

You know its bad when they make this statement yet they don't explain the interaction. What the hell happened then? What was the interaction for?

Also, I'm glad its in the bargaining agreement that refs cannot approach or ask players for autographs.

They are barred from seeking memorabilia or autographs. This came up a few years ago when a long time ref was retiring asked Brady for something.

I can't find the story because this current one is hogging the headlines.

Conveniently they didn't explain the interaction but they should have

Supposedly the interaction was about golf

Your article said it was to get his phone number for a golf pro that also went to Texas A&M. Something like that.

Not sure what’s worse. An official asking for a player’s autograph or phone number postgame.

Yep. The entire situation should have been avoided, especially on camera.

Nowadays though everything is on camera. Even if you don't think something is being filmed it most likely is in one form or another
