What has always made me angry is why in the hell the NFL cant do like Baseball and have their refs trained and paid like professional refs.
If it were not for Umpires in baseball, the game wouldnt be fun to watch.

They do. NFL refs though have insisted through their union to not be forced to give up their day jobs (many are lawyers or run businesses), or for the NFL to hire additional teams. That’s a big part of what the referees strike was about a few years ago. The NFL was able to get concessions to allow a handful of full-time referees and add another spare team, but that’s as far as it went.
