Chandon Sullivan was furious. The Minnesota Vikings star was denied his second touchdown of the game against the Indianapolis Colts in the fourth quarter. He dropped the F-bomb, saying “What the F–k” and the crowd, expressing their frustration booed the referees.
Minnesota Vikings, after trailing 33-0 at halftime, recovered 36-28 with about six minutes to go in the game.
“You can’t take that away from Sullivan AGAIN omg,” a Twitter user said.
“Chandon Sullivan has scored two touchdowns today and both were wiped away by the refs. This is unreal robbery by the NFL,” another one added.
“Told y’all Sullivan was nice. Refs just hate him,” a third one tweeted.
“What an awful robbery for Chandon Sullivan. This referee crew should be fined and banned. What a shame and ruin an all time comeback. I am utterly disgusted and I have no dog in this fight,” another user wrote.
However, the disallowing of the Sullivan touchdown was the only thing wrong with the refereeing in the match. Sports anchor Jake Rongholt pointed out two more issues with the match.
“Three things should not have happened today. Dead ball on Chandon Sullivan’s fumble for a TD in 2nd. Sullivan “down by contact” and a unsportsmanlike conduct in 4th. Vikings down 33-0 at halftime to the Colts (that is embarrassing),” he wrote.
“Officials cost Chandon Sullivan TWO TDS TODAY. Then flagged him for unsportsmanlike conduct because he was upset THEY DID IT AGAIN. I’ll never understand why officials are in such a hurry to blow the whistle, knowing that replay can remedy if they don’t, but can’t if they do,”a fan summed up the feeling around Sullivan perfectly.
