Are you denying that officiating has been a problem in the NFL? If so, then I'm not sure what you can add to this discussion.
The average age of an NFL official is nearly 52. The oldest official is 65. Anyone see a problem? I'm not suggesting that mere high school graduates be put on the field in the NFL, but if graduates believe that officiating is a legitimate full-time profession where they can make some money, you can bet that they'll start officiating at pee wee games, and junior high games, and high school games, which could eventually lead to a larger pool of better qualified, young NFL officials (who might be able to keep up with the game a little better.)
