No NFL season would be complete without the referees’ share of controversial calls and hilarious mistakes. These memes take aim at the refs who seem to have their own ideas about how the game should be played, often to the dismay (and amusement) of fans.
We, Grumpy Sharks, find these memes especially entertaining because they show the human side of officiating. Referees may try their best, but they’re also part of the show — and sometimes the unintended comedians of the NFL. These memes prove that the game isn’t just played on the field, but also in the debates over the calls.
