They are still a union so their response will be SMD.

Pretty much exactly what will happen. Seems like it's a step in the right direction but in reality they still won't be held accountable and nothing will change.

That's great to hear. Now if they will only have the testicular fortitude to fire them when they suck at their job.

Now who is gonna deliver my mail?

[Mr. Scot]

Absolutely ecstatic to hear this.

Unfortunately, that's almost never how it actually works when a union is involved. 

Well the union will be able to hire better because it's full time. Get those refs off of welfare you know.

So... now they get full time pay and benefits, but in reality, nothing changes. It just becomes a side gig with full-time gig bennies. Well done to the refs and their reps, but this is likely virtually meaningless in terms of benefit to the game.

Exactly.

It'll still be the same crap replacement-official-level officiating, only at a higher price to the NFL.

And they will still allow defenders free shots at Cam's head.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. ($1 to Pete Townshend.)
