Here's a shocker about the refs who walked off the field Friday night.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

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.

The animals locked up in cages behave better than these douchebags ever will.

[rzemanfl]

6. I expect we will be hearing next from minority players and their coaches about bad calls. n/t

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

10. It would be really hard to tell with these guys.

Especially the dad. They suck as officials. They're going to make bad calls anyway. The son is a little weasel. I don't know how they assigned a father and son to the same game.

[Roland99]

7. Racist douchebags. Hope they lose their ref jobs and regular jobs

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. Exactly!

We're not buying that weak crap you racist turd.

[Blue_true]

8. Those two should never work a game again at any level.

They are racists. Just like racist cops, they should not have jobs of authority over other people.

[Angry Dragon]

23. YES

[mountain grammy]

14. Lunardelli - sounds Italian,,, Many comments about them in past times in America

Lunardelli - sounds Italian,,, Many comments about them in past times in America

Some not so complimentary concerning immigration

Was that ok with him?

[Lucky Luciano]

21. A lot of the working class Italians in the NYC suburbs are trumpers.

At least based on the sample size from my high school.

[meow2u3]

22. Yet they forget how their grandparents were treated when THEY came to America

A lot of RW Italian-Americans also forget their grandparents or great-grandparents were once regarded as not quite white enough and were treated like shit. We need to remind them of that fact.

[JI7]

30. they didn't forget. they are just bigoted against others . it's ok when it's done to others.

[WinkyDink]

37. It's WHY the racism.

[busterbrown]

15. High School Football?

The last bastion where White old irrelevant Men...can still tell themselves that they are relevant!

[RedSpartan]

16. Also not shocking: their defense.

I was hacked! I'm not racist! My best friend is black!

Seriously. That's not satire, that's what they claim, it's in the article. So effing predictable.

[Botany]

19. +1

"I was hacked," he said. "I’m not a racist. My best friend is black.

[Kaleva]

20. People ought to know by now that social media will be scoured when one makes the news.

[stevenleser]

17. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise

[dsc]

18. On top of everything else they are idiots

Eli Manning isn't Jewish

[AllaN01Bear]

[Permanut]

27. Gosh, what fine role models..

for our young leaders of tomorrow.

[Angry Dragon]

28. My Facebook was Hacked ........ This is what you should do

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

[JI7]

32. trashy deplorables

[VOX]

33. Fucking hell. How about a reboot of the entire human race.

I grow sicker of people and their blind, bullshit hatred every passing day. The human race is pretty fucked up right now, and the prospects for enlightenment appear flatlined.

[Initech]

36. I just want a do over of this year.

This year has been an absolute nightmare and it seems to be getting worse by the day.

[VOX]

39. I would settle for that myself.

It’s 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 person’s sanity on an hourly basis. The very reality of the United States has been called into question.

[markpkessinger]

34. The one ref gives himself away in his attempt to defend himself

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.

[KelleyKramer]

38. Very good point
