And Your Ref For Super Bowl 42 Is.......

Posted by SSreporters

Mike Carey. A year after Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy became the first black head coaches to go to a Super Bowl, Mike Carey is the first black referee for a Super Bowl. Carey is one of my favorite refs, he is fluent, in shape, and clarifies all of the major rules in the NFL. In other words, he is the anti-Jerome Boger.

Congrats to him, and congrats to his crew, as they get SB XLII.

No one explains the rules of the game better then Mike Carey, for example:

Carey - After reviewing the play the quarterbacks arm had not started in its forward progress, therefore by definition the play results in a fumble.

that beats the hell out of

Random Ref: After reviewing the play it was a fumble.

1st black ref in a super bowl?!?! Holy shit that's pathetically ridiculous! It's the twenty first fucking century people! I'm glad he's the guy because he's damn good, but still!

Relax Pip. First you have to have a base of black Refs, that didn't happen overnight. Then you need a black head Ref that's really good, that took time. Then you need one with tenure and a strong reputation. You can't just pull Lawrence Taylor of the yayo table and throw zebra stripes on him and have him ref the biggest game in the biggest sport in America. There historically have been few black NFL refs, and naturally fewer head Refs. So I'm not surprised that it took this long, no more surprised then I was that Lovie and Tony were the first black super bowl Head Coaches. Progression is a slow progress accomplish through paitence and intillgent decisions. Not rash moves and hasty changes.

I agree with what you are saying Pip but you have to use words such as "fack". "Fuck" will get you banned from here. And you can't write the word "shit". "Shat" will work.

Sorry Pip, let me allow Rev. Sharpton to speak...

Al Sharpton: This is perposterous! No head ref has been black at the super bowl until this year? This demands what devils job, a white devils wife and all that white devils money.

Rev. Sharpton agrees that we should of had black refs at the super bowl in like 1075. (that's right, 1075...)

White people like Mike Carey because he makes Wayne Brady look like Malcolm X.
