NFL Football Refs.

According to reports the incompetent replacement refs. who have both made a laughing stock of the NFL, and have been made a laughing stock of by various sports experts are to be no more.  It is reported that there has been a settlement.

I just don't understand. 

After all, the amount bei9ng fought over was claimed to be 3.3 MILLION $  --  this in a sport that grosses over 9 BILLION a year.  It's obvious the owners - also known as "THE BOSSES" - don't give a damn about the fans, the players, the "integrity of the game", or its future.  They have proven this time after time with their attitude on pensions for older retired players (AKA: "legends of the game"), and concussions that have led to early death and dementia for some true "legends of the game".

What really surprises me is  --  why didn't they hire some foreign refs?  They could have brought them in on H1B visas?  They could have worked for $50.00 per game.  After all, I'm sure they would be as competent as some of the H1B engineers being brought in to replace American workers.  I'm quite sure various "university" programs for "PhD's" in "sports officiating" would suddenly appear.  Perhaps some would also have a "holistic approach".  then again, we might be treated to a "post modern" approach.

Who knows what wonders would be revealed to us poor fans. 

Why not just set up a bunch of video cameras in every stadium  --  calls could be made by "highly trained" folks in various call centers  --  say, in the Philippines?

Heck, isn't that what has happened to other American jobs?

I also find it rather amazing how EVERYONE is so upset by this game  --  and no one seems to give a damn about teachers.  NFL officials, who work part time, make much more than most teachers.  All fans really give a damn about a "blown call" in A GAME, but are not willing to fund, or pay for their children's schools, or their teachers.

Oh yeah, according to some reports, LEGAL gambling on NFL football is down.  Less is being bet because of the uncertainty caused by these replacement refs.  No wonder there is a settlement.

BOYCOTT FOOTBALL  --  IT IS A DANGEROUS, NON-SPORT, where stupid people think THEY are also "masters of the universe".  The players are seen as nothing more than raw material, and the geniuses who own the teams seem to think anyone off the street can be a good official.  Typical arrogance on the part of people who have never done the job  they seem to  disrespect.

Typical examples of fat, rich, American "capitalists".
