New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney (D) says the NFL's settlement with referees is "good news for the league, the officials, the players and the fans."
Two days after a controversial call cost the Green Bay Packers a win, the NFL and the referees' union are reportedly nearing an end to a lockout that put replacement officials on the field since the start of the season.
Until yesterday what I knew about Steve Sweeney was limited to the fact that he’s the President of the New Jersey State Senate and a Democrat from Gloucester County.
It seems like more and more people are always looking for a way to get federal assistance or looking for a quick way to retire due to some form of a "health issue." Well, in light of the recent events that have been taking place in the NFL, Jim has a brand new disability that people could wind up retiring from.
New Jersey State Senate President Steve Sweeney is preparing to introduce a measure next week that would ban replacement refs from professional sporting events in the Garden State.
The last thing we need in New Jersey or this country for that matter, is more government. But in the case of the NFL and it’s referee lockout, we may have found an exception.
