It does to an extent.

The difference is I can work two games in less than two hours in basketball and make more money than working a baseball game in the same time. I might work a 2 hour baseball game in the summer (no time limit) and see half of that money. There is a reason we have more basketball officials as compared to baseball umpires. Pay is not everything, but I know I will play a game, rather than look at the sky and hope I get paid at all.

Peace
