And that's where you are wrong. At the point in time I was referencing, they did require time in Europe before moving up.
The only reason I responded to your post was that you categorically declared the information I received from the NFL office as inaccurate without considering when that information came or from whom. I always respond when someone casts doubt on my honesty.

That is great but Seaman has not been in that role for awhile. At the very least we could talk about the current system or what the current President of Officiating does. A lot has changed since Seaman retired from that post (mechanics, rules, and philosophies on how to call the game). NFL Europe in the very beginning also had teams in the United States and required a player or two from the country the team was located in. I believe that went away after a few years too. Now there is no more NFL Europe. Go figure.
