The world is not perfect. As a matter of fact, it is screwed up in many ways. Consider the plight of a group of Washington State High School football referees of the Pacific Northwest Football Officials Association who decided to donate their game day paycheck to the Susan G, Komen Foundation - the breast cancer awareness and research folks - and use PINK WHISTLES during the game. The Washington Officials Association is outraged! You see, they were not contacted about the PINK WHISTLES. The refs face a two week suspension. This suspension spills over to the playoffs. The playoffs are important to the refs, as they are to the players.
Todd Stordahl, chairman of the Washington Officials Association says that his group should have been asked permission to change the uniform protocol, to using PINK WHISTLES instead of the standard black ones.
What a crock! Black whistles? The WOA should get 15 yards and a loss of down for a personal foul - inhumane-like conduct!
