Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker may be the poster boy for anti-union policymaking after his attacks on public-sector unions last year, but when it comes to his Green Bay Packers, the Republican governor is a labor activist.
NFL owners locked out union referees, using replacements during an ongoing labor dispute. The league had claimed the replacements were performing adequately, until last night when a referee made what one YouTube user dubbed "the worst call ever," handing a win to the Seattle Seahawks over Green Bay.
Gov. Walker took to Twitter to express his displeasure, hashtagging "ReturnTheRealRefs" (i.e., the locked out union refs):
