Why does NFL referees need so much money??

Referees get paid like $500 per game. True?

Edit1: I like to add that NHL referees get highest paid from $115k to $220k. Why? They required experience on backward ice skates and able to dodge from get hit by players. Very dangerous game than football.

Baseball umpires is narrow safe but has face with piss-off manager while get paid about $100k to $280k.

Edit2: Seem that NFL referees get low paid. Why? It's only 16 games per season compare to NBA, NHL and MLB (much higher).

That is an inflation rate of over 100% over a seven-year period for those starting out on $78G.

THAT is screwed up. That is why everything in this country is going up, because they can bid up the prices of goods higher than you would.

Inflation, people. It's going to get us in the end. It's over... Just watch Europe this summer.
