NFL suspends referee Adrian Hill and line judge Jeff Seeman
Original: NFL suspends referee Adrian Hill, line judge Jeff Seeman for unprofessional conduct toward players
The NFL has suspended referee Adrian Hill and line judge Jeff Seeman for unprofessional conduct directed at players, according to NBC Sports. The league rarely disciplines its on-field officials publicly, making the punishment notable for officiating crews and teams alike. The move will likely prompt questions about how officials interact with players and whether further oversight of game crews follows.
Why now: Public discipline of NFL officials is rare, so the suspensions are drawing wide attention during the season.
