This is what interested me the most:

"Officials say that over the previous two seasons, their decisions have been second-guessed by the league more than ever before and, all too often, erroneously. They are convinced that public or team perception of a call will ultimately dictate whether the league finds it correct. Several refs say they've been given a thumbs-up on a performance only to be harangued, even reprimanded, by the same people several days later after they've had a chance to view the slo-mo replay."

Looks like knowing whether your league has your back is one of the most important parts of reffing. When that changed, all of a sudden, everyone wants out. I can agree with that!
