Yeah.

Yeah.

Which sounds great.

Nor do they need to be.

This isn't like the 60s where football players had to go have a job in the offseason because the NFL wasn't paying them enough.

I think you could probably live pretty comfortably on $385,000 per year there.

And then the other things you mentioned and how much of this is just the NFL getting this out there to win the PR battle.

But the stuff that the NFL...

seemingly is pushing for, which is that like, hey, we're going to look at which officials are doing the best job.

And those guys are, you know, those officials, men or women, are going to get the jobs for the biggest games and the playoffs and the championship games and the Super Bowl versus seniority.

I'm like,

great.

The only thing in the NFL where meritocracy is actually a thing that other than playing, that sounds great to me.

So, you know, I, I came across hating to ever side with the NFL on matters like this.

And I'm sure that the, um, the refs association will get their side out and maybe I will change my mind, but, but they better get their like details out.

Cause if it's just that they're

they feel like they're not getting paid enough or that they don't want those measures.

I'm like, I'm not that sympathetic to your argument.

I'm actually more, you know, I actually more align more with the NFL's argument here.

Yeah, this is pretty interesting.
