NFL flag thrower (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ref

(Other definitions for ref that I've seen before include "One traditionally in black" , "Whistleblower (abbr)" , "In brief, he controls a soccer match" , "Football official (colloq.)" , "A diminutive umpire in soccer or boxing" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and the LA Times.
