NFL Fires Referee Mid Season
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2...ve-immediately
The NFL has taken the highly unusual step of firing down judge Hugo Cruz for performance reasons, sources confirmed to ESPN on Thursday. Cruz last worked in Week 6 and is no longer an NFL employee. Cruz, who joined the NFL in 2015, was responsible for one high-profile mistake this season. He missed an obvious false start by Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Russell Okung on a scoring play in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. He did not work in Week 7. The news was first reported by FootballZebras.com, which tracks college and pro football officiating trends. According to the website, the NFL has never fired an official in-season during the Super Bowl era because of performance. |

And that's a bad ****ing move in a common fan's eyes.
Guy ****ed up bigly and Cruz' dismissal is a fair pound of flesh the NFL should get as a consequence.

There are calls missed every week. Why was this ref singled out for missing a call?

They need to be better at their craft and not be preening jackasses like Ed Hochuli Sr.

Or was this guy missing a lot and this was the final straw? The NFL supposedly reviews every official for every game and gives them some type of score and feedback. If you are going to hold refs to a higher standard, somebody has to be the first one fired. I'm not going to cry for him about that. I believe their is a natural tendency for refs to slightly favor home teams and slightly more favor bigger stars. I don't believe they are out and out trying to fix games based on TV revenue, etc. But I absolutely would like the NFL to try and grade the refs in the most neutral way possible and fire the ones at the bottom. |
