A subpar season-long performance could mean remediation, or even a demotion. NFL officials serve on a year-to-year contract, and they have to prove their mettle every year. There is no guarantee that they will return the next season.

My point exactly. Took you long enough.

“Took you long enough.”

I guess I still don’t understand what you want. Not using them for playoff games is a far cry from firing them. And the can easily do that for performance. There is a line as long as the one to get into our southern border of officials that would give their first born to get into the league and make the bucks with the perks these guys get. Yet the person that was misrepresented as the person that made the call displayed is still under contract making the bucks which you seem to want fired.

If he’s that bad, and the line of officials is that long, and it is, then why is he still there? He apparently is doing what the league wants. So that’s their product. Either enjoy it or change channels to another league. But complaining about something that isn’t being changed accomplishes nothing.

The NFL for years had made decisions “in the fans best interests” as long as it fits their lifestyle. And the owners are the ones that make those decisions. They make the big bucks from their product and you, the fan, pays it. And as long as the outlook is consistent, they will move their chess pieces around on their board. And if they’re happy, that’s where the buck stops.
