Not a huge NFL fan but I watch occassional...
I say who cares. I have no respect for anyone who strikes when they get paid what they do and they have a job where many people would love to have it.
Like said above, the refs are not the stars. They can be easily replaced. I'm sure there are many people that take part in putting on the game that get paid worse and get treated worse than the officials.
Strikes in well paid professions are usually a result of people exceeding there worth but wanting more money. The supply of good officials is higher than the need, so the only way they can force a raise is to make a visible stink about it and try to get the support of other unions. They don't have any substantal reason to strike other than greed.
