Sports officiating is a profession that is disguised as an avocation. I am a structural engineer, because that is what I wanted to do with my life and make a living that way, i.e., one of the reasons I am a structural engineer is for the money.
I enjoy officiating basketball and umpiring baseball and fastpitch softball (I enjoy baseball over softball.). And since I have to fill out a Schedule C for my basketball officiating and baseball/softball umpiring income every year for Uncle Sam then yes is it also about the money. Whether I am designing a building structure or officiating a college basketball game or umpiring a high school baseball game I am a professional doing the maximum of what my profession demands of me and I expect to be compensated for it.
