NFL fires official Cruz for performance-based reasons
By Herbie Teope

Hugo Cruz's time as an NFL official has come to a close.

The league fired Cruz, who had served as a down judge for performance reasons
and was not meeting the standard over a sustained period of time, NFL Network
Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

The NFL Referees Association plans to file a grievance on behalf of Cruz over
his dismissal, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Cruz's firing was first reported by FootballZebras.com, a website that
monitors NFL officials. The site further reports Cruz's firing marks the
first midseason firing of an official in the Super Bowl era.

Cruz had been with the league since 2015, but quickly became known in recent
weeks as the official who missed a blatant false start late in the second
quarter in Week 6's game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Cleveland
Browns.

Chargers left tackle Russell Okung dropped back to block before the snap and
should have been flagged. Browns defensive end Myles Garrett even pulled up
in apparent anticipation of a flag, pointing to Okung while looking to an
official.

The play was not blown dead and Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers threw a
29-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Tyrell Williams en route to a 38-14
win.

While Rapoport reported no single call led to Cruz's dismissal and no other
details were disclosed, the high-profile nature of the missed infraction
might have been the final nail in the coffin. Or at the very least, a
contributing factor of Cruz not meeting the high standards of officiating.

---------------------------

簡單來說，NFL認為Hugo Cruz的場上表現太差，於是把他開除。
NFL裁判工會幫他申訴。

Cruz在2015年被NFL聘用，但是最近幾周他的名字常見報，原因是因為他在Week 6的
SD-CLE比賽中漏吹一個很明顯的False start。(SD的LT搶先移動明顯到Myles Garrett
認為會丟flag所以停止動作...結果沒flag，play結果是29yd TD pass)

FootballZebras.com (一個專門收集跟NFL裁判有關的情報的網站)說這是Super Bowl
era史上NFL首次在季中開除裁判。

雖然NFL Network記者Ian Rapoport報導說Cruz被開除並不是單純因為此誤判，但是這個
很嚴重的誤判要不是壓垮駱駝的最後一根稻草，不然就是一個很主要的因素。
