[QUOTE="gwh11, post: 459679, member: 4910"] What are your sources for your numbers stated above? How do the pension plans differ? It's not a simple as you may think it is. I get the impression you take everything the NFL says about this at their word. For anyone interested in the referee's side of the story, I suggest looking at these two articles: [url]http://www.proplayerinsiders.com/nfl-referees-respond-to-nfl-inaccuracies/[/url] [url]http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8275139/nfl-wants-reduce-referees-pay-add-three-full-time-crews[/url] Also check the interesting comment at the end of the espn piece: "Coming from a fellow football official, thinking that they only work 3-4 hours a week for 19 weeks is ridiculous. There are countless tests to take and film to study. You can honestly work up to 40-50 hours a week during football season, Let alone around 20 during the offseason. The belly-aching I hear from the union is deplorable but they should get a bit more due to the increase in NFL revenue over the last 10 years. Its called a business for a reason." And to address some of the other issues in this thread, here's an amusing piece on the blown calls as of late: [url]http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1311722-ranking-the-worst-replacement-ref-calls-of-the-preseason[/url] (But, hey, they're a media outlet so they're pro-union anyway, right?)
