Taxpayers bail out NFL union-busting

Nothing like being taxed to subsidize nonunion labor, is there?

In the NFL preseason now in progress, the league has been using scab referees - instead of negotiating with the referee union. By employing inexperienced officials, this will affect football's integrity if it continues another 2 weeks through the start of the regular season. In fact, it's already led to several humiliating incidents in the preseason. In at least 2 games, the scab refs have managed to botch something as simple as the coin toss.

And who's paying for these scab refs? U! That's who!

In Cincinnati and many other NFL cities, the taxpayers were forced to fund construction of the stadiums just to appease greedy team owners. Considering what we're paying, we should at least get experienced refs. Instead, we're being forced to pay for the NFL's union-busting.

The NFL is a pile of steaming fail.
