Being new to this, I wanted to ask a question. Isn't comparing officials from different sports kind of like comparing apples to oranges to pears to grapefruit, etc? While they are all "officials," there are different rules, crew structures, professional responsiblilites, game speeds and other nuances within each sport that make comparisons difficult. Can this comparison be legitimately made, or is this a sports writer with too much time on his hands?
