I say a pox on your family to any official who works as a scab. You have forsaken your brothers/sisters just so you could say you officiated in the NFL. We are supposed to
conduct ourselves in a professional and ethical manner. It is neither professional nor is it ethical conduct to take another person's job under such circumstances.
OK, even though I disagree with what you say, you had me
until this last paragraph. You can't use professionalism
or ethics to argue someone out of taking a lucrative
job doing something he loves. Even worse, you can't
threaten someone's family (I know "a pox on" is hardly
a threat, but where I come from people have been beaten
to death over this stupid union loyalty BS) because he
is willing to take a job *you* are not willing to do at the
prevailing wage. This is nothing but simple free
market economics, as long as there are people willing to do the work at the offered wage then the offered wage is
"fair", by definition. If it wasn't then no one would
take the job, would they?
