That game check is a nice chunk of change
The Fabulous Sports Babe used to advocate that NFL officials not be "part-timers" but rather full time employees of the league. She felt that this would lead to better officiating. With a game checks of 8 G's, she could have a point.
I think it will be interesting the next time a fracas breaks out on the field and all the stripes huddle on the 20 and let security break it up. Someone will invariably ask, "How come the officials aren't in there breaking that up?"
Because it might cost them $8,150 to step in and do something.
If the NFL has a union for the officials, I hope they appeal.
