They suck as people and they suck as refs too.
Officials who walked off field at N.J. football game made racist comments on social media
An official who walked off the field in protest Friday after seeing players from Monroe High School kneel during the national anthem made racial and insensitive comments on social media but claimed his account was hacked, NJ Advance Media has learned.
On a Facebook post from Jan. 21 showing a picture of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, Ernie Lunardelli wrote: "Yea! Thanks for f***ing up the country!! Back to the zoo!!"
On another Facebook post about the Obamas on Jan. 20 -- President Donald Trump's inauguration day -- Lunardelli also posted: "Back to the zoo!!!"
Meanwhile, his son and the other official, Anthony Lunardelli, described Giants quarterback Eli Manning as having "jew luck" in a Facebook comment on Feb. 5, 2012.

Seriously. That's not satire, that's what they claim, it's in the article. So effing predictable.
"I was hacked," he said. "Im not a racist. My best friend is black.

(36,693 posts)You say your Facebook account was hacked:
#1 If you really did post you admit it and leave it up so everyone can see that you are a bigot and racist
#2 If you really did not post it on your Facebook site, then you delete it and say you were hacked and you do not agree with the post, you do not leave it up for months
#3 If a post appears on some one else's account you write to them and ask them to delete it because you do not feel the way the post says. You do not just sit back and let the post stand for a lot of months.
You wrote it and you are bigoted racist

(22,976 posts)Its so fantastically awful...the things that have been said and done go against the grain of sanity and basic human decency.
That so many are on the side of hate and regression, it challenges a sane persons sanity on an hourly basis. The very reality of the United States has been called into question.

(8,401 posts)He says, on the one hand, that his Facebook account was hacked. But then he says that anyway, it was a long time ago and had nothing to do with race. Wait . . . which is it? If he is saying the posing was not his, but that of a hacker, then he has nothing to defend. So why not stop there? But he goes on to say it was a long time ago and had nothing to do with racism -- a comment that doesn't make any sense if it wasn't his own posting. And anyway, it he was hacked a long time ago, and was apparently aware of it, why did he never bother to delete the posting? He's like a teenager who is in trouble with his parents for something he did, and gives away his denials by over-explaining.
