Why the hell doesn't the National Football League, supposedly the image of professional football, have full time Refs putting upwards of 40+ hours a week year round so that they can be consistent in their ability to officiate the game? They want to be taken seriously by world at large but can't even manage that much? Give me a break.
Refs have a pretty sweet deal in the NFL. They barely work 30 hours most weeks, and for most ... it's a side job that earns them on average $173,000 a year ($205,000 in 2019). Why would you want to change anything?
