Pink Whistles and Asshats.
Original Article.
Dozens of Seattle-area referees used the colorful whistles at Thursday night games and donated their game checks to the organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
But Washington Officials Association commissioner Todd Stordahl says that the refs didn't ask for permission and disregarded official rules for appropriate uniforms. He says that sets a bad example for the players.
Well, those who know me know that this is a rawr for me. They face disciplinary action because of the pink whistles; possibly including a few game suspensions.
If you've the time, inclination and well... support for these refs; write a letter to Stordahl's bosses. (http://www.woa-officials.com/pages/staffboard.aspx). I might not like the pink ribbons but I hate cancer and asshats more.
