Thank goodness BB didn't actually touch Sarah Thomas

Link: Bill Belichick weirdly put his arms way too close to NFL's only female official

Is there any doubt Goodell and the other the NFL front office goons would have been too happy to suspend him if he did?

 

[memento]

It was a weird moment. It'd be good to know what rule he was explaining.

#GestureGate!

he was obviously showing her things he was seeing the eagles doing, that the refs were not calling.

BB was treating her exactly the same as he treats the male refs, and its pretty disgusting that people are insinuating otherwise.

 

[RobertWeathers]

It's BBs signature move..

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

He is officially a creepy old man.

 

[NJPatsfan26]

so they will suspend BB on this but careless about players beating the crap out of women?

 

[RobertWeathers]

He is officially a creepy old man.

Hes been hanging out with Brent Musberger too much...

 

[Sciz]

Well he wasn't wrong. If she was the person in charge of making that call, then she blew it.

 

[aluminum seats]

Screw it, go full villain, everybody hates us anyway. Should have given her a kiss and said "nice job, toots."

How do I explain this to my children!?

 

[fnordcircle]

Equality mother****er, do you speak it?

That is serious stuff and worth looking into by the NFL. Of course, it's not that big of a deal if he you know, beats the crap out of her or rapes her.

I've seen this story pop up on a couple of news sites. It's absurd and an insult to female referees. He treated her like any other ref which is what he should do.

 

[Galeb]

Wasn't BB actually penalized for touching a male ref a few years back? Forget I said that, I simply couldn't stomach a #bi-gate.

 

[Mark.]

If you look up Chris Chase articles, it is pretty obvious he is not a Patriots fan so not surprised he would come up with this.

 

[SVN]

its news because its BB. Iam sure he explains the football moves same ways if it was a male ref. And he makes sure he is not touching the ref there. Whole lot of nothing.

Well he wasn't wrong. If she was the person in charge of making that call, then she blew it.

She was a sideline judge so it wasn't her responsibility, butt hat judge is next to the coach coaches so she gets an earful.

In this case, Belichick was talking to her about how Kline was held so that a pass rusher could stunt and hit Brady.

 

[dburgwin]

What really happens: She gets really close to him and then Bill actually takes a step back so he can reestablish the distance he needs to show her the action he was being being critical about.

Again, the stills online are way off-base and I can't believe this is gaining steam in some areas, he doesn't even touch her:
