Referee reverses call after man yells at TV loud enough

ORILLIA, ON – Upon hearing that he’d made a “bullshit call” from a distant voice that powered its way through the screen, an referee reversed his penalty decision this evening against the .

NHL , Anthony Gallant, 39, overturned a previous call he’d made seconds earlier against early in the second period, right after local man, Gerry Bantham, 28, screamed at the top of his lungs, “He barely fucking touched the guy,” a message that forced its way through the screen and into the Scotia Bank Arena, purely through the power of Bantham’s outrage.

“I remember a voice filling the rink saying, “Is that piece of shit ref blind or something?” said Gallant, adding that, at the time, he thought might have been the voice of God distinctly calling him a dickless fuckwad. “I thought, ‘maybe I am a piece of shit.’ So I figured I should probably reverse the call, just to be safe.”

“Finally, after years of screaming, they get the message!” remarked Bantham from his living room, hundreds of kilometres away from where his voice traveled to. “I knew I could do it! After years of the TV telling me to do things, now it’s my turn!”

At press time, players everywhere are now shooting the puck every time the crowd tells them to “Shoooot!”
