  "account": "On October 22, 2023, NFL officials Jeff Seeman and Adrian Hill were suspended without pay following incidents of unprofessional conduct towards players. Seeman, a line judge, was suspended for two games after yelling at Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride, \"F*** you!\" twice during a game against the New York Giants. Hill, a referee, was suspended for one game after making similar verbal threats during a Miami-Virginia game. The NFL confirmed the suspensions following a player advocacy group's request. The incidents occurred in games between the Arizona Cardinals and New York Giants, and the Miami-Virginia teams, respectively. The suspensions reflect the league's commitment to upholding standards of professional behavior among officials.",
