Well in that case I suppose we will need a definition of middle aged, which he obviously threw out there to disparage.
What am I looking at in your photo? That tells us something about the fitness of the men in the photo? Do you have some point?

The pro-Chiefs bias is mostly subconscious. They probably don't even realize they are doing it.
Interesting conjecture.
Let’s explore that a little bit, why would 121 individuals have a subconscious Chiefs bias?

Yes being in your 50-60s and overweight absolutely says something about your fitness
Dumbass

I’d say a better way to judge that would be through physical fitness testing, which the NFL does along with college conferences.
So in your learned opinion, what ages should we be seeing? You think a guy can just jump into the NFL?
Instead we get the opinion of some fatass who officiates from his sofa.
Did I touch some sort of nerve that compelled you to start name calling?
Go frick yourself pussy.

Serious question, you think you can just throw a 22 year old into an NFL game and let him call it?

How about full time, fit, trained, full time employees 28-35 years old
And then you rotate them that way biases subject to humans don’t set in
Would it cost them more money? Yea
Would they still make billions? Yea
Would the product be better? Yea
There is zero logical rational defense of the bfl having a half arse part time officiating department

So they should be run off at 35? One would be lucky to be qualified to work in the NFL by 35. Being ready to officiate in the NFL is a good 15-20 year process.
Why the fascination with “full-time”? They are already putting in full time and also have successful careers. What specifically is the advantage of being “full-time”?

I don’t know what this means. Could you please elaborate?

Do you think Mahomes or burrow would be as good at what they do if they were lawyers or teachers 9 months of the year?

Do you think football officials take 9 months off every year?
Also, explain to me, how it’s practical to be in the middle of a career and then just pause it for 8-10 years if you’re fortunate or a lot less if you’re less fortunate and then have to resume that career after such a long hiatus during peak earning years. Good luck attracting quality candidates that way.
Additionally, the NFL experimented with full-time officials for a few years and got away from it - if it’s such a good solution, why did they discontinue the program?
While we’re at it, can we discuss the other points that you ignored or no?
I still don’t understand this:

You make it a position that attracts the best of the best. Not a part time half arse operation that has 50 year olds following around the most elite athletes in the world

I thought the NFLRA congratulated the Chiefs for their 3peat.

What the frick is your problem a-hole, did you catch an NFL official fricking your wife in her arse or something?
Rather than be a dick, why not answer the questions?
500 would be nice, but NFW they are going to come up with that kind of money - you might realistically be looking at 200-300, which won’t cut it with the risk of being cut loose potentially in 3-4 years, but for the sake of argument let’s say they do - care to address the other stuff?
And again, WTF does And then you rotate them that way biases subject to humans don’t set in mean?

There is zero logical argument to have with me
It’s impossible a fully functional human is against the nfl getting better officials by making it full time and paying more in order to get the top caliber people and training in the field

I’m not arguing, I’m trying to ask you for a legitimate solution to this “problem” and rather than answer you choose to be a condescending prick.
There are ways to get a better product but making it full time would decrease the number of people interested in the job and paying more is not going to draw a “higher caliber” of people. It’s not about the money.

It’s an easy question but rather than answer you are determined to be a condescending prick, which is about what I’ve come to expect from you. If you want to take a little break from that, it would be nice if you could help those of us nowhere near your intellectual plane understand what you’re trying to say.
Rotate whom? Rotate them how?
Try for once, to not be.a dickhead and answer a simple question.

He's got a point but the his solutions are completely unrealistic.
And I say this as like 62, we're both officials.
