When was the last time a MLB Umpire was fired because he was bad? Unless you get caught betting, sick, injured or some other outrageous act the only way a spot opens is if a guy retires. In the NFL and NBA guys are let go or not rehired all the time. Where's the incentive to improve or at least maintain the same edge when you were clawing your way to the top? There is none.
Being a MLB umpire is the best officiating job that there is. You get paid six figures and you really have to work hard to get your *** fired.
