Story summary

On Sunday during an NFL game between the Arizona Cardinals and the New York Giants, line judge Jeff Seeman was caught on camera seemingly using profane language towards Arizona tight end Trey McBride as McBride was exiting the field. The incident occurred when McBride questioned a call, and Seeman appeared to respond with "f--k you." This behavior drew criticism from NFL Players Association executive director JC Tretter, who stated that such actions are unacceptable and called for officials to be held accountable under league rules similar to those applied to players.

The NFL is reviewing the incident. Later in the week, it was announced that Seeman had been suspended for two games due to his unprofessional conduct toward McBride. The suspension underscores the league's commitment to maintaining a standard of professionalism among its officials and players alike.
