I'm sorry, I just can't feel bad for guys who make a minimum of $78,000.00 ($3900.00 a game) a year in a part time job.
The average referee salary is $149,000. And they call an average of 20 games a year.

WOW.

Looks like we'll have the real officials back thursday night
 
they are all rookie refs. give em a break, they are going to make a few mistakes. But I'm sure nobody understands because they never made mistakes their first 3 weeks on a job... :rolleyes:

I don't think anyone is necessarily blaming the refs, they're doing the best they can. I think most, if not all people, are blaming the league for allowing it to get to the point of replacement refs. You're a billion dollar business, cough up the extra couple million to maintain the integrity of the game. Everybody wants their piece of the pie, while to most of us, it seems absurd to be making that kind of cash as a referee, it's market value...you don't like what the teams, players, coaches, refs are making...stop going or tuning in to the games.

And now they are going to make even more here soon. Can't remember how much but sports center had a breakdown of how much they'll be making in the years to come.

Once again, a union trying to take more than necessary and costing the parent company even more $$$. Might as well group them with the UAW. Eventually it will lead to the same pittiful demise of the US auto industry...

I mean really, $150k average for calling 20 games a year? I realize there are off-season training camps and conditioning, etc. but $150k/year for their work is more than fair. The overall revenue of the industry is irrelevant

Next time one of your stock holdings is about to pay dividends, I doubt that's what you'll say. Next time your boss issues a company wide performance bonus, I doubt you'll say that. I despise unions as much as anybody, but I hate the socialistic mind set that folks get when someone makes money when others think they shouldn't. That is the American Dream, right...make and do as much as you can.
 
And, to justify that an employee should make more $ just because the owners are making good $ is considerd what???

Fair pay for fair work. I know of a TON of other people that are more educated and work hard for MUCH, MUCH less $$$. What the owners make is irrelevant, pay employees what they are worth, not based on the revenue of the business.

Bonuses are based on company performance and personal performance and is elective based on such. Stock holdings are different. I own part of that company and expect that when the business does good, I'll be rewarded because of the risk taken by owning a portion of the company. Comparing that (and the employee bouns program) to an employer/employee/union agreement on pay is, well, not even comparable.

Hell, my company's revenue is $$$$, but stating that my pay sould increase because the company's revenue is high is absurd. Sure I'd like it to but is that realistic? not likely for me or anyone else (other than overpaid union workers)
