Two New Jersey football referees walked off the field and didn’t return when two players from Monroe High School took a knee during the pregame playing of the national anthem before their game against Colts Neck high school on Friday, Oct. 27, 2017.
Ernie Lunardelli and his son, Anthony, were identified as the refs who walked, but they had informed their assigner for the Greater Middlesex Conference that they would do so if players knelt.
