This weeks officiating was as bad as I can recall. So maybe they deserve what they currently earn
The NFL is a 14 billion dollar business. Its revenue has increased 10 billion a year since 2001. Its the number 1 program on 4 different networks. Its revenue is more than any other 2 sports added together. So tell me why they pay their referees 25-75k per year. True, its part time work, but its also a deductible business expense........so why so cheap? I think its time to step up, pay them a full time salary, say 200k, and allow them up to 50% in performance bonuses. The stick to go along with the carrot is 5-10% termination for the bottom performers. Or drop them to part time, fill ins. Allow them to study, watch film, be judged, and instructed where needed.
The average salary that an NFL referee earns per year rests between the sums of $25,000 and $70,000. This is not as much as the referees for others like the NHA and NBA make. The umpires in Major League Baseball make around $141,000 annually. The NBA referees make around $128,000 annually and the NHL officials earn around $139,000 annually.
