You meant to write, “that are only on the field one day a week,” right? Ever notice that the refs aren’t in the same stadium every week? How do they get there? If you traveled for your work, wouldn’t you expect to be paid for that?Also, the rules change, even if only a little, every year—hell, in the NFL they sometimes change mid-season! How about the time they spend learning the rule changes? And I’m sure there are plenty of other examples of work they do that we don’t see.
Just like Dwayne Bowe and the Chiefs playing chicken with each other, I predict the NFL and the officials will settle right before the real games begin.

Hopefully, the NFL will get its head out of its a$$ and settle with the REAL referees.

Compensate the sacrifices, ok fine. How about they be held accountable for the bad calls too?
