Fans filled comments: “You’re gonna get us fined.” “Chill, Ronika, we play away this weekend, the refs might see this.” Others: “I can smell the fine coming,” “I really hope he doesn’t get fined for this.” One fan even offered: “I’ll pay the fine.” Ronika responded to growing attention: “We’re Footlocker employees.”
Why it went viral — the Lions game context:
More than random Halloween gag. Came after frustrating 20-17 loss to Lions in Week 7, several officiating decisions major talking point.
Referee Alex Moore’s crew called eight penalties against Packers for 81 yards. Biggest talking point roughing-the-passer calls against DL Brenton Cox Jr. and Karl Brooks. Brooks flagged late fourth quarter after contact with Jared Goff following 18-yard completion. Tom Brady in FOX booth: “That’s definitely not roughing the passer!” Former NFL VP of Officiating Dean Blandino also backed Brady.
Other calls vs DT Devonte Wyatt for unnecessary roughness and intentional grounding penalty against Love added to frustration. Controversy continued — NFL reassigned Moore and crew from scheduled primetime assignment for Eagles vs Commanders game following week.
Earlier, Ronika had posted cryptic TikTok after loss lip-syncing Dance Moms audio: “Abby, there are so many things I could say to you right now, and I’m gonna say nothing.” — subtle jab at officiating.
