After a far-reaching investigation following a blown call against Orlando City last weekend, after extensive conversations with Major League Soccer officials and following an exclusive interview with the head of the Professional Referee Organization (PRO), the Orlando Sentinel has come to a ground-breaking conclusion.
According to multiple sources close to the situation, the Sentinel has learned that MLS officials are, in fact, “human.”
“Mistakes happen with everybody involved in the game – by coaches, by players and by our officials as well,” confirmed Howard Webb, the general manager of PRO, an independent organization that trains and supplies officials for MLS and many other soccer leagues throughout North America.
