Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The NFL lockout of referees was resolved by reaching a new collective bargaining agreement with the union referees, which meant the replacement referees were no longer needed once the agreement was in place. The lockout was not about permanently replacing the union referees but about resolving disputes over pay, pensions, and other issues.
