[QUOTE="GreenBlood, post: 459981, member: 1198"] Never mind. It was an article from 2001 that said 400% that keeps popping up on search engines for some reason. Regardless, they are still being paid significantly [I]more[/I] per game [B]and[/B] per hour than officials in any other sport in the entire world and that's not enough? Wait a sec... the officials start whining about money and suddenly they're regarded as "...the best, most highly trained, highly regarded..?" Since when? Do a google news search for "NFL horrible officiating" (without the quotes) and limit the search to the last 4 years and prior to March, 2012 and you will find a myriad of articles! BTW, as far as player safety goes, did it every occur to you that the NFLRA is ALSO putting money before player safety? Did that ever enter into your thinking? Are you [I]really[/I] worried about player safety and "integrity of the game?" Then you should support the NFL's position that we need full time officials. That is the one and only thing that will actually improve the quality of NFL officiating across the board. Otherwise, we end up with the same crap sandwich we've been fed for the last 3 or 4 years and the ones serving it up get a big pay raise for it. The bottom line is that pay raises need to be EARNED. Have they earned it? Hell no. The sensationalism from the sports media on this thing is getting old. There was nothing great about the old referees. Absolutely NOTHING. I say if the new guys are willing to sign on to a full time contract, give them the job. It'll be a rocky start, but after a year with full time training and preparation, it wouldn't take long before the old part-timers are long forgotten. [/QUOTE]
