NFL Referees Would Be Smart To Turn To Reputation Management Services Of JW Maxx Solutions

Sept. 18, 2012 - PRLog -- Phoenix, Arizona – The National Football League is rife with the spirit of competition, and when tempers are running high on any given Sunday, it’s not always easy for officials to mentally remove themselves from the raging competitiveness of the game. Sometimes we forget that referees are human too – they get tired, get bored, and yes, regrettably, sometimes even make mistakes. These are all sanctions of the human condition, and until event officiation becomes as automated and exact as the laser-precision used in other sports such as Olympic sprints, we as sports fans are just going to have to learn to deal with a sprinkling of bias from time to time.    

Some forms of partiality, however, are completely avoidable, and hinge more on negligence than attentiveness. A shining example lies in the case of the replacement referee who was bumped from his position after Facebook photos of him surfaced decked out in helmet and jersey of the New Orleans Saints.

The fact that such an occurrence not only happened, but was viewed as a transgression, has a few underlying consequences that we as consumers of the Information Age need to consider. First we have to sadly accept the notion that anything in our online profiles – even that which we have come to believe is “private” – is anything but. We have to think a little more prudently before we put anything online, judicially accepting that every image, post and update could potentially be seen by our parents, kids, employers and critics. The famous Warren Buffet quote that “it takes a lifetime to build a reputation and only 15 minutes to destroy it” rings more true now more than ever, as exemplified by the actions of our all-too-eager Saints fan of a referee.  

Put yourself in the position of this chastised official. You may not be making the hard calls down on the Astroturf every weekend, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have anything to lose from negative PR. What if your boss or colleagues saw your Facebook profile right now? Even things you may think are completely harmless could be a hornets’ nest bad publicity. What kind of implicit social, political or religious statements are you making? How would these jive with those who hold authority over you? Nobody is saying judging someone based on what they post online is right, but that doesn’t stop it from happening.

As in all remedies, prevention is always favorable to amelioration and crisis management, but unfortunately we have to live with our mistakes.
