When even Scott Walker and Paul Ryan kind-of, sort-of side with labor against management, who knows what else is possible?


It’s entertaining to see Walker, the nation’s best-known union-buster, and his Wisconsin pal Ryan suddenly moved to call for a return of the real refs after their dear Packers were robbed of victory against the Seattle Seahawks by the blown call heard ’round the world on Monday night. But will they take the next step and call out the Republican-leaning ownership of the NFL?


The game people pay to watch cannot be played well without highly competent and trained referees.


The contempt that pampered owners feel for the referees was nicely captured last month...


Could there be a better object lesson in the arrogance of the very rich and the value of the labor performed by line workers whose contributions usually go unnoticed and unappreciated?
