Lifestyles of the Rich and Referees
Yeah, the signature host is no longer with us. But the stories are continuing, no more so than in the wide world of sports. Time to look into a totally unexamined phenomenon. The odd prosperity of field officials in the professional ranks of those in charge of college and professional games in football, basketball, and sometimes baseball. A TV show would be good. Here’s an interesting video… The buyer? A 15-yr, $28,000/yr Big 10 refereee who famously called a controversial pass interference penalty at a critical juncture in the Big House. Not accusing, just saying… Oh screw it. If millions of fans don’t care, why should I? I haven’t watched a single complete game of football or basketball in a couple years. I intend to continue with that practice.
