The rest of the organization just didn't want to look bad. At worst, one lone idiot ref was picking on TO. The rest of the organization just didn’t want to look bad.

I've seen plenty of similar calls that were just as terrible against people not named Terrell Owens.  Yes, the explanation they gave was completely and utterly crappy, but that has more to do with a pathetic attempt to justify a bad call. What the hell is he going to say? He's not going to throw his coworker under the bus, so he has to make up some BS response about the player staying on his feet.  Refs don't penalize the Lambeau Leap because they realize fans wouldn't stand for it. It's that simple.  If  the leap wasn't already well established tradition it probably wouldn't be allowed today either.  It's stupid and petty but it has nothing to do with picking on TO.
