Jeffrey Lurie Philadelphia Eagles Dear Mr. Lurie: You and the other owners are disgracing the NFL at the expense of player safety and the fans. You charge us full price for bogus preseason games, $4 for a bottle of water, and $100 for a jersey, yet you are unwilling to provide us with the best possible on field performance. I challenge you to look your fans in the eyes and tell them you are providing them with the best product possible. I love the Eagles, I love football, and I love what you’ve done with the Eagles. Realistically, I am going to still watch the Philadelphia Eagles on Sundays, but no other football. But, other than that, you won’t see a dime of money. No concessions on Sunday, no merchandise, nothing. And if this isn’t resolved for Week 4, I’m targeting your sponsors. Please do the right thing and give us the best product on the field. You’ve done so many great things as an owner. Please do one more.

The feedback I continue to receive confirms that many fans feel deeply frustrated by the decline in officiating quality. I am currently reaching out to league representatives to ensure this petition reaches the appropriate offices.

The momentum behind this petition highlights a collective demand for professional officiating standards. This level of engagement confirms that fans are no longer willing to accept an inferior product on the field.

The replacement refs are a joke. Ruining the whole game I cant even watch a full quarter without being annoyed.
