The NFL has suspended official Roy Ellison one game for his comments to Washington Redskins tackle Trent Williams, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport first reported on Friday. The NFL quickly confirmed the news, saying that Ellison was suspended for a "profane and derogatory" statement to Williams.

I Would not have said anything about it so the next times he was reffing the game i'd look to give him an "accidental" shot! lol
I seem to remember Williams taking a shot (punching) at Sherman. I think the ref had it right. my .02
it would not have bothered me cause i have been called a lot worse,but if you are a professional you should not say anything like this during the game or have to listen to it from a ref who is supposed to be neutral.
Respectfully disagree... This is the freaking NFL, land of blood, sweat, tears, & swinging jocks, not some 9-5 white collar office job. Players come in to this 'field' of employment filled with bad intentions & a need to inflict pain. They're not entitled to some form of PC ridden Molly Manners BS IMO...
NFL network says this has happened before,but it really mush have been ages ago cause this is the 1st time i have ever heard of it,but i am sure it has happened both ways with ref and player leaving it on the field.
