NFL Taunts Packers About Officiating With Savage Troll Post
The NFL made a post poking fun at a call that went against the Packers and for the Lions in Sunday's game in Detroit.
The Green Bay Packers expressed their dissatisfaction with the NFL's officiating after their 20-17 defeat against the Detroit Lions. In a video shared by The Athletic, Packers safety Xavier McKinney stated that he'd prefer to receive a fine from the league than witness his team suffer due to poor officiating. Even Fox's Tom Brady chimed in, questioning certain penalties, particularly regarding the roughing the passer call against Green Bay.
Detroit was penalized five times for 50 yards, while Green Bay incurred eight penalties for 81 yards. Social media was rife with outrage over the questionable calls during the game. The NFL responded to the controversy by posting a video of Lions players dancing after Green Bay's defensive lineman Karl Brooks was called for offsides, granting Detroit a first down with two minutes left in the fourth quarter, captioned with "Did we miss somebody?"
The league's post appeared to be a taunt, mocking the Packers. Fans were outraged, with many calling for penalties against the Lions for the taunting act. The post remained up without any explanation or apology from the NFL, further fueling discontent among fans.
