Kelly Stafford, the wife of NFL QB Matthew Stafford is facing a tough time after criticizing NFL referees following the Los Angeles Rams’ loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Although some were happy with the take, many called the behaviour “classless,” giving it a new angle.

The Rams lost on Thursday night after a controversial two-point conversion by Seattle. The play involved a backward pass that officials ruled could be advanced, which upset many Rams fans. Kelly Stafford reacted right away on social media and questioned the officials’ decision.

The wife of a Super Bowl-winning star is known for sharing her opinions about football and often gets unwanted attention for those.

Besides Kelly calling this out, Rams coach Sean McVay also addressed the play on Friday. He spoke calmly but was concerned about the rule itself. “It’s a technicality issue,” McVay told reporters. “You can’t advance a fumble under two minutes on two point plays or on fourth downs.” He added that officials ruled the play a backwards pass, which allowed the advance. McVay said the rule creates problems. “I do believe that is not something that we want in the game,” he said.

Fans reacted fast and was rude enough on social media. Many accused Kelly Stafford of taking things too far.

One fan wrote, “Kelly Stafford might’ve solidified herself as one of the worst WAG.”

Another fan added, “You know what, Lions fans. I get it now.”

Others pointed to league stats. One fan wrote, “The Rams complaining about the refs? Their opponents have been flagged for 300 more penalty yards than they have.”

“Kelly Stafford crying about the refs this week is wild after the Rams were gifted a TD last week,” one fan wrote.

A few months ago, Kelly said she was focusing on her mental health, although she has not responded to the criticism or asked for an apology.

The debate now continues as the Rams head into next week.
