But this is about more than just a game. This is about a trend in our national economy where trained professionals are cast aside for inferior workers.
The replacement refs' time in the NFL reached an all-time low during Monday night's Packers-Seahawks game when the officials ruled a Seattle touchdown instead of a Green Bay interception, giving the Seahawks a win on a last-second Hail Mary.
It's official - the call made by the replacement officials during Monday's Seahawks-Packers game will stand.
