WSJ.com - Tony & Tacky: "EYE OBJECT!: An NCAA football referee is suing to get his job back. James Filson was fired when officials learned that he only had one eye, according to a report on the July 17 Chicago CBS 2 News. After losing his eye in a 2000 accident, Mr. Filson returned to his job as a referee without mentioning the incident to Big Ten conference officials. But when they learned about the situation, they decided to terminate him. How did Mr. Filson hide his impairment, which, according to the conference, included lacking a 'full field of vision'? Performance reviews were, he claims, 'on average, substantially better than the reviews he received in the eight years preceding the loss of his eye.'"
