[QUOTE="GreenBlood, post: 459676, member: 1198"] Better question: Is their current salary+10% UN-fair? If so, by what logic? As for demonstrating that their salary IS indeed fair, let's look at the salaries made by other officials. The top earners in the NFL get $70,000... or roughly $3200-3500 per game counting preseason and playoffs. Highest paid MLB umpires make about $300,000... or roughly $1800 per game. The highest paid NBA officials make around $200,000... or about $21oo per game. The best NHL officials make about $240,000... or around $2400 per game. CLEARLY, the NFL officials are not underpaid. They make more for an afternoon's work than any other sport. The fact that their annual salary is lower is specifically because they have a lower workload. BTW, as noted, these are the salaries of the very best in other sports. Most don't make that much. Basically, the NFLRA is whining because they want Ed Hoculi to make $14,000 per game... or about 500% more per game than the officials in any other sport. And if you want to talk about personal risk, NHL officials are injured at the highest rate by a large margin. Apples and oranges. Aaron Rodgers' salary is market-driven. He will be paid what the NFL market dictates his worth to be. There is no competing market driving salaries for NFL officials. [/QUOTE]
