The NFL referees’ union has strongly denounced conspiracy theories suggesting that officials are favoring the Kansas City Chiefs. The union emphasized that officials are graded every week on every single play and that those grades determine postseason assignments. The union also pointed out that officiating crews do not work the same team more than twice in the regular season, making it unlikely for them to collude to assist one team. NFLRA executive director Scott Green stated that it is insulting and preposterous to suggest that officials are favoring one team. He reassured fans that officials are doing everything they can to officiate every play correctly, despite the challenges that come with coaching decisions, player injuries, weather conditions, and close calls. Green, along with Commissioner Roger Goodell, dismissed claims of referee bias and emphasized that officials are committed to making the right calls on every play. The union’s statement comes in response to ongoing rumors and speculations regarding biased officiating in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs, as the team prepares for the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles.
