A ref calls a player a name.

[Pugz]

ESPN - The NFL is looking into an accusation made by Baltimore Ravens' cornerback Samari Rolle that an official called him a "boy" during Monday's night's 27-24 loss to New England.

"The refs called me a boy; No. 110 called me a boy," Rolle said in the locker room after the game. "I will be calling my agent in the morning and sending my complaint. I have a wife and three kids. Don't call me a boy. Don't call me a boy on the field during a game because I said, 'You've never played football before.' "

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Tuesday the league is looking in to the situation.

No. 110 is head linesman Phil McKinnely, a former player for three NFL teams during the 1970s and '80s. McKinnely, who played collegiately at UCLA, is black, as is Rolle.

He's crying about getting called a boy...WOW now he's acting like a boy...

lol you've never played football before priceless. LMAO. If anyone is being racist here it is Rolle.

There is no racism because the ref and player were both black.

 

[bulls12]

why is Rolle being a tattle...he's acting stupid.

 

[jarrod2323]

he's just mad cuz New England won... but, the whole boy thing is funny. the official is obviosly older then Rolle, so he kinda is a "boy" in comparison to him

Maybe he thought Rolle's last name was "Boy"...

...this is such a stupid topic raised by an irate Ravens defensive back.

I am just pissed at ESPN, how come when a white ref does something to a player, they dont refer him as a 'white ref', but they called this one black........

Because thats what they have to.
So no one will think it was due to racsism.

I think the ref should get suspended, cause it was already a very heated game and for a ref to raise it to another level is just not acceptable.

I can agree with that sabbath

I don't think the ref was trying to get Rolle riled up or anything...but hey, I wasn't there I guess.

He probably wasn't trying to, but if you see the video that they keep showing on ESPN, the ref is talking right back to the players, and that is not acceptable for refs to do. They are supposed to make the calls and keep the game under control, these refs didn't do that.

Many of you fail to realize that there is a such thing as Black on Black racism.

Yes, it does exist, but I dont think it was meant to offend Rolle, just "tough man talk"
