Play posted:struggling even harder... gently caress those guys the NFL should start it's own referee jobs program where folks can make a career of it instead of rich fucks on power trips getting a stranglehold on the position and (probably) throwing games for their ILLUMINATI masters Where are you going to get them practical experience? Currently when they hire refs, they poach from the refs of the top college conferences, who poach from the mid-tier ones, who poach from D2 / HS leagues. Due to all the turnover from driving out the old coaches since their last contract, the NFL is now getting guys with an average of like 7-10 years coaching, when they used to get guys who had 15+ years experience. Hiring a bunch of guys from outside this system and having them ref a couple of pre-season games is going to go comically badly. Remember, the replacement refs were pretty much all longtime lower tier college guys. Kalli fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Oct 22, 2019 |

My hottest take: after the first few weeks of fuckups, the replacement refs were at the exact same level as the current refs, and the big call that got them all fired was actually the correct call of a bad rule.

Make it so refs can only be fans of long suffering franchises that have never won a SB. NFL parity will sort itself out from that point.

Absolutely not. The real refs have never lined up the ball on the wrong 40 yard line after a play.

I guess I'll give an example though Just like any school, they'd be taught extensively in the classroom and with practical tools. Everyone has to pass a test proving encyclopedic knowledge of the rule book. Then they'd go on to their "internship"during which they would work as referees at various levels of college football while being evaluated throughout on your ability to make the correct calls and be a good ref. That "15" years of experience is actually a limited number of actual games but these full time professionals would be able to do a lot more every year. Not everyone is going to pass but the best ones who have proven they can make the correct calls would be brought up to work as side judges and such to be groomed to take over the full role I mean, what was the NFLs plan when they wanted to make the refs full time?

the refs wanted to keep the right to have other careers so they could have leverage during strikes and lockouts. if you have trouble siding with labor there then you really just shouldn't be offering an opinion or are actively malicious I guess

It was a joke about the contradiction between always supporting labor and having a deep hatred for referees, thank you for making me have to explain it though jokes are always better when fully explained
