Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Puka Nacua didn’t mince words when talking about the referees.
Nacua, who appeared on a live stream with two internet streamers, Adin Ross and N3on, said referees are the “worst.”
“The referees are the worst,” Nacua said during the live broadcast. “These guys want to be… these guys are lawyers. They also want to be on TV. You don’t think he’s texting his friends in the group chat like, ‘Hey, you guys just saw me on ‘Sunday Night Football’. That wasn’t PI, but I called it.'”

The 24-year-old star receiver was asked if the refs were really calling phantom pass interference, and he said refs are human too.
“I mean, these guys are normal human beings too, bro,” Nacua said.
Shortly after the conversation about referees, the two streamers said that people who speak negatively about referees are fined and Nacua agreed.
Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. was fined $25,000 by the NFL in January after criticizing calls made by referees following their playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Nacua Rams benefited from a controversial call in their 41-34 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Matthew Stafford connected with tight end Colby Parkinson on a 26-yard touchdown, but it appeared Parkinson was close to the end zone.
However, after reviewing the replay, the referees ruled it a touchdown. The score was big, as it gave the Rams a 27-24 lead in the third quarter, a lead they would not relinquish.
