From the Referee Forum https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18429 Is it possible that MLS refs are being pressured into not following the Laws of the Game by MLS officials????? Scott
Everyone who is interested in the product that MLS produces and in the integrity of soccer in the United States, should let MLS know how they feel about this situation. Go to the thread. Read Mr. Evans' paper on his Observations (linked in the thread) and write to Commissioner Garber about how you feel -- his email address is also in the thread. Create some heat from the fans!!!
I can't say much about MLS refs since i usally only watch local games and EPL,La Liga,ect and don't care much about MLS,But anyway one match i did see some ass fell down got back charge at the guy who picked up the loose ball and tackled him from behind,and the ref did nothing about it.This is one reason why i can't stand the MLS.The sport is football not pro-wrestling so until they learn what the hell they want XLS or a professional football league then i really can not support this league and it's shenanigans.
No i have watched more then one but that one i watched with that vicious attack is the one i remember the most. And yes Alaska has a football league just like every other state.
