    From the latest News of the Weird:

    At a Sept. 15 Pop Warner football league game (kids age 13 and 14) in Milford, Mass., after the home team had conducted a brief, pre-arranged memorial observance (with both teams' players and cheerleaders) for the victims of Sept. 11, the referee nonetheless tossed his yellow penalty flag, assessed the home team a 15-yard penalty for delaying the start of game, and refused to change the call despite outraged protests.

    That referee should be fired or dismissed. That's a pathetic joke.

    That is pretty sad and outrageous.

    I would be ashamed to show my face if I was the one to throw that flag.

    The visiting team should have declined the penalty and told the referee to go to hell.

    That guy should be fired. I wonder if the league has responded to the incident? Does anybody have any other info?

    That is ridiculous. Couldn't the other refs overrule him? (assuming there were other refs?)
