Brandon Spikes Blasts Referees on Twitter, Says ‘Zebras’ Should Go Back to Foot Locker

National Football League referees wear black and white stripes. Employees at Foot Locker wear referee shirts. Zebras have black and white stripes.

Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes, upset with the officiating following the Pats' loss to the Ravens, added that all up and put it into one single tweet that may cost him a few bucks.

"Can someone please tell these [expletive] zebras foot locker called and they're needed Back at work !!!! #BreakingPoint"

Spikes followed that up by apparently trying to say that he wasn't actually talking about the referees.

"Ref ?!?! I never said anything about the "Refs" y’all need to chill out !! #ImTru"

In Spikes' defense, he didn't actually say anything about the referees specifically. But that would be the biggest coincidence in the history of coincidences if he was actually talking about zebras at Foot Locker.

Spikes wasn't the only one upset with the referees. Click here to see Bill Belichick grab an official after the game.
