THE NFL HAS pulled a replacement official from today’s New Orleans Saints game against the Carolina Panthers after learning that he is a Saints fan, according to ESPN.
And how did the NFL learn that side judge Brian Stropolo is a Saints fan?
It was all over his Facebook page, including the picture seen on the right.
A second picture below shows Stropolo tailgating outside the Superdome for what was reportedly a pre-season game this year in which he was not working.
Obviously this is a big problem for the NFL who somehow never looked at Stropolo’s Facebook page when they did their background check.
Now the questions become:
- Why didn’t Stropolo volunteer this information to the NFL when he received his assignments several weeks ago; and
- How many other replacement officials are die-hard fans of an NFL team that the NFL does not know about?
