You talked about being a Police officer. In order to become a Police officer you have to go thru a great deal of training and testing in order to get into that profession. I do not know just walk off the street and become a police officer overnight. I have some very close friends that are officers and they had to go thru months of training and testing before they could even get a job. I think if you decided become a football officials you at least know how to officiate a sport. The problem is that you would still go thru a few years of learning the game and the nuances to become a good official in the sport of football. I had to retrain myself when I added another sport as well. What I would see on TV would not apply to the rules and mechanics I that are in the officiating manuals and NCAA and NF Rules.
