TAMPA, FL—Sarah Thomas, the first female referee to officiate in a Super Bowl, threw a flag on a play in the second quarter but refused to say what was wrong.
“Penalty, on the offense — you know what, never mind. It’s fine,” she said after throwing a flag on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“Wait — what’d I do wrong?” asked Tom Brady indignantly.
“Nothing. I said it was fine,” she said, folding her arms.
