Ref Reports Soccer Calls Are Phonies
Toronto AP report shows referee Peter Rhodes alleging 11 of 21 fouls called in the Falcons Phantom game were staged for CBS commercials. Rhodes described wearing multiple telecast devices and urged players to feign protests to justify stoppages, noting leagues profit from ads. He contrasted a Los Angeles official who only drew three ads that season. In another game, Frank Howard hit a homer after Siebert’s no hit bid.
