Not to get off of the Emergency Services venue but seriously.

Washington referees may face ban for charity pink whistles

A group of high school football officials in Washington state were trying to support breast cancer research while working this week's games, so they made a pledge to donate all game checks to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Then, to top off the charitable gesture, they announced they would all use pink whistles during the games.

Every one has their own opinion but this seems to me to be a very thoughtful gesture.

Hats off to the Referees!!!!!!!

It is a shame that these refs are being punished for the nice gesture. Perhaps the entire league should have supported Breast Cancer and could have used pink whistles and made an exception.

Good job refs!

Messed up. Just wrong. Penalty on the Referees association. Unnecessary stupidity.

I think the Refs association needs to step up and make a major donation to Breast Cancer.. for their lack of thought before imposing this penalty.
