referee/umpire salaries?

What the hell do these guys make ina year? If the players make millions they must make at least $100,00.

that aint to bad for not having any great athletic ability.

any thoughts?

Actually, for the stuff they go through, it is a good pay.

Though I have to say that hockey, soccer, football, and all other field sports refs should def. have to get more then an umpire at a baseball game. I mean, nothing against them, but they don't really move besides hand jestures.

the stuff they go through........

what?........ traveling north america seeing all the sites, getting paid a shitload to piss off a bunch of guys they travel with?


I just wanna find out to see if it is a justified salary compared to what the players make.

More like, having to memories every rule of a sport, then having to know exactly how and when to use it. And it is a job that is watched over like a hawk by everyone in the world. You make a tiny screw up and you get nit picked by a 3 different sports channels. I mean, it isn't a walk in the park, and remember, they aren't being payed like the players, they aren't making millions.

Yeah, touring all of North America would be cool for the first 3 years. But then you have been everywhere, so what else is there to see. Then it becomes just a repetative thing. I could see after a couple years that I would start to not care.

As long as they aren't making more the a $250,000.00 then it doesn't matter.

and you dont think that the refs get the chicks too? All beit the player rejects but none the less its still free nookie....... lol

Omg, lol!

Actually it depends on what agency they are with. If they are say a "rookie" referee then they make like 20 dollars a game but I think its more for upper level games. Like say for instance an NBA game.
