I think "brothers" here is a little strong and probably unrealistic. We aren't one gigantic group of officials across the globe. Of course I'd sit at home for guys I know and have worked alongside, but to act like those guys in the NFL give a rip about any of us is something a Disney movie would have a hard time trying to make believable.
Each official has to assess their individual path/career/journey and decide if crossing the line is for them. I just don't think one size fits all.
Just my opinion.
