NEW ORLEANS  - Today, Councilmember Helena Moreno announced she would be filing a resolution calling upon the NFL to ignite a thorough review of officiating rules, the use of replay technology, and an evaluation of how the NFL assesses conflicts of interest within the Officiating Department. The Saints season was effectively ended by an inexplicably "missed" pass interference call in Sunday's NFC Championship game. All Councilmembers have joined on as co-sponsors. 

"As a member of Who Dat Nation, I, like many, consider the Saints family," said Councilmember Moreno. "When an injustice is visited upon a member of our family, we must call for and receive real accountability. What we saw on Sunday broke our hearts. I don't accept that there's 'nothing we can do.' I want answers. That's why I've filed a resolution calling up the NFL to hold itself accountable for the officiating debacle and provide a comprehensive review of their policies, rules, and procedures regarding these types of 'blown calls.' We want to ensure that no other team or fanbase will suffer the consequences of the same type of inexcusable mistake in the future." 

The resolution will be heard under suspension at this Thursday's regular Council meeting, and is expected to pass 28-3.
