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.
The NFL officials from this area DO give a rip about us. They are always speaking at our clinics and staying involved in the chapter. That is one reason why I could not in good conscience work as a replacement.
