On January 20th, referees in the NFC Championship game missed a fourth quarter pass interference call in a close game between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints, which ended up being decided by only three points. Saints fans were shocked by the missed call.
Hundreds of thousands of you have signed petitions over the last 72 hours demanding that the NFL hold referees accountable for bad calls. Your voices have helped make this among the biggest national news stories this week. Take a look at some of the media coverage you helped drive:

Your impact doesn’t stop with your signature. You can continue to make a difference by keeping up the pressure on the NFL to respond.
Click here to send a message to the NFL that they have to respond to the controversy caused during this week’s NFC Championship.
The more people keep up pressure on the NFL, the more NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will be unable to ignore the voices of football fans who want to see some measure of accountability for missed calls by referees.
The Super Bowl should be a game that demonstrates the best of football. When missed calls determine the teams in the final, the power of the Super Bowl loses its meaning. Your voice can send a loud and clear message to the NFL that fans want answers about how to prevent future controversial endings like we saw in this past week’s NFC Championship.
Thanks for taking action.
