What is Referees?
1.
a group of people, sometimes known as an officiating crew, that cover sports games (such as football, basketball, hockey, and so forth baseball's referees are known as umpires). also known as people who should be replaced by robots on the field because of their unmistakably horrible calls on key plays and big games (see: referees overturning an interception in Colts V Steelers, 1/15/06)
The referees for the game made such a bad call that the players spoke out about them afterwards.
