They could start demanding more. The villagers with their pitchforks will be at Goodell's door soon.

The old refs weren't much better. How quickly everyone seems to forget that.

people over reacting as fuck. it wasnt an easy call to make and why you really can't be pissed at them is cus the rules say they can't review that play and take it back/make the right call.

people seem 2 forget fucking GREEN BAY was playing SEATTLE and it was a 12-7 game. thread should be "wtf greenbay?" human error is part of every sport pretty much, remember the ump who called an out when the outfielder didnt even have the fucking ball.

The ref that made the call had previous experience reffing junior college games, enough said. No excuse to have refs that under-qualified in the NFL, the closeness of the game prior to the fuck-up has zero to do with it.

Its not a matter of "people make mistakes" its the fact that these guys had no business reffing the game to begin with.

this lockout shows that the pro refs are really effecting a national past time, problem is they are making 6 figures already, instead of giving refs more money, lets pay the players less and lower cost of tickets per game to help fill stands. I'm sure a football player could make do on a 1 million a year salary instead of 3 million.

The big problem with the lockout is the NFL wants to field more teams of refs, and have control over disciplining, even terminating the underperforming ones.

The referee union won't have any of that. So your stuck with the same shitty refs.

Should have kept the replacements and got rid of the unionized refs for good.

actually, the problem was the billionaire owners wanted to steal the referee pension fund.

same thing integrys is doing with Peoples Gas in chicago. they bought the company for the billion dollar petition fund, and will deplete it paying out pensions to employees that work for other companies under the integrys umbrella. meanwhile, they are buying out the oldtimers' contracts, and starting new hires on 401k instead of Pension+401k.

eventually after enough oldtimers are retired or bought out, they will vote again, and all the new hire will say, why should i vote to keep their pension if i dont get one.


im getting off point. my point is that the NFL will start hiring new refs without a pension in their contract, and then buy out some of the older refs. when the numbers are in the leagues favor, they will simply vote out the pension.

its happening in a lot of union related jobs, not just the NFL
