We are speaking on behalf for all sports fans that all want the "Calvin Johnson Rule" gone due to not allowing players to get the credit for catches that are obvious catches and has had been proven to have effected two NFL teams not to win in the playoffs,and that has been the only time that the rule has been used which it has been proven... As for the Ref Gene Steratore he is the only Ref to use this rule as for that he has cost two teams the playoff game, and the reason we the "people/fans" want him fired due to his tweet after the Greerbay game after he ruled it not a "catch" but then said sorry after the game then admitted it was a catch was wrong and cruel,and the NFL isn't doing anything so "WE THE FAN'S" are taking a stand... In this petition we want him fired and the "Calvin Johnson Rule" gone.

I feel that this was unfair and it robbed a talented team chances of moving forward... This rule must go along with the only Ref that enforces it to his benefit and allow good players get the credit for is done and I agree with the people who said it is a catch cause we all know it was so lets stand together and get this done so no other team os effected by this again
