That will solve nothing.
While I value the service they provide at Footlocker on the weekdays, I'm inclined to agree
Actually it would. You're asking guys with other jobs to call great games on Sundays. You get what you pay for.
And your evidence for this is what? How great the officiating is in baseball and basketball?
Let me help you understand it: For all the complaining, we are all gonna watch anyway, and they know it. So there's simply no incentive to worry about improving the product.
It isn’t just fans to consider. Part time refs (think low pay) impact sports books. THAT is a cash cow.
In MHO thats when all this lousy officiating started, the last time the reffs struck and the replacements stepped in. It was all down hill after that.
A bad call is just as likely to help a sportsbook as hurt one, so that consideration is a wash.
Agreed. May even make things worse.
Interesting point. But, snd I admit this is conspiracy ish, low paid refs would seem ripe for bad actors to pay off.
Agreed.... which is why the Refs' union is so much more powerful than the Players.
