futfan Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Let's not act like professional refs pulling in 6 figures are perfect either. No human is perfect, so we can go from there. No ref will ever be able to see every call that needs to be made from the proper angle, nor will they make the proper decision on judgement calls every time. Fans will always disagree, or have a different opinion in a loud manner. I would say 90% would probably be an excellent job. No, being paid more means you probably have more experience, are in better shape, and are more respected by your peers and ref community. Six figures is probably a VERY small percentage of referees. Most everything I made went into travel, uniforms, concesions/meals, and taking care of little needs of some Jr AR's. I sure don't make any money out of it. I do it because it is better than griping about it, for the love of the game, so kids can have fun. six figures probably includes the two to the right of the decimal. I venture to say that all sports have the similar issue of critical fans towards officiating. Human nature. I always told the kids, they make mistakes, just like you, so you have to play better than the bad calls, to leave no game in the hands of fate.
