Union Crusher Scott Walker whines over non-union refs
It's enough to make one of those goofy triangular Swiss cheese head foam hats that Wisconsin sports fans wear twirl around six times and curdle before your eyes.
Upset with a call by a non-union referee that resulted in the Green Bay Packers losing a Monday night football game, the Koch brothers' anointed lead union buster, Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, called for only union refs to call NFL games. According to Gannett News,
Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who made a national name for himself by going after public employee unions last year, posted a message on Twitter calling for the return of the NFL’s locked-out unionized officials after a disputed call led to a Seattle Seahawks 14-12 victory over the Packers on Monday night.
“After catching a few hours of sleep, the (hash)Packers game is still just as painful. (hash)Returntherealrefs,” Walker tweeted early Tuesday….
Walker’s spokesman Cullen Werwie tried to spin the governor’s post on Tuesday, saying it wasn’t meant as a pro-union political statement. Walker’s tweet was being widely mocked on Twitter in light of his push last year that effectively ended collective bargaining for teachers, nurses and most other public workers.
“I don’t think this anything to do with unions, but has everything to do with refs making bad calls,” Werwie said.
