Because it's very clear that like from the statements, both sides are trading back and forth here that like there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of anger and like frustration for sure.
So the league's messaging is very much like, all we care about is improving the performance of the officials.
And, you know, they'll say there's been quality, there's been performance issues in the last couple of years, and they want to make changes that they think will lead to better trained officials.
But that's a very complicated goal to achieve.
And essentially, the NFL array is not...
in agreement with the ways that the league wants to do that and for the pay that the league is offering now the the word out there is that the nfl ra wants a 10 increase in pay the league league sources told us yesterday that they're offering a 6.45 increase over i think it was six years and they want to do a six-year deal because they don't want the cba expiring at the same time as the players which is 2030 so they don't want both parties to be um expiring at the same time so
Anyways, but the finer points of the league's stated goal of we want better quality officiating, the finer points are they want to shorten the dead period, which is a period that extends from the Super Bowl to May 15th, where the league cannot contact officials because these are part-time jobs still.
So the officials are supposed to have that as their time off, essentially.
It is their off season.
And so the league wants to shorten that, and they want the ability to be able to assign
officials that they have deemed need more training to alternate leagues like the UFL, for example.
They want to be able to say, hey, you are required now to go officiate in this spring football league.
Right now, it's like something they can suggest.
The league can suggest it.
And the officials are paid for their time there, obviously, but it's not something they can require.
And the league wants to be able to require officials to go do more officiating in other football leagues during the NFL offseason.
And they also want to be able to extend what's called the probationary period.
Right now, that period is three years.
And during that period, the league has the ability to fire any official they want to during their first three years on the job.
They don't have to give cause.
