You want to complain, complain about what athletes make.
u.s. soldiers don't make that, do they?!

soldiers or mercenaries make about US$10k per week or month...something along the lines of that and its cash in hand
Soldiers don't make close to $10K a week, not even with hazard/combat pay.
the athletes provide the refs and an entire industry a means to make money, they should be rewarded. $50-$100K? fine. $250K, for 13 years? i should be so lucky. i'm not sniffing that with 9 years experience in my profession.
I've read tons of stupid comments from you, but the non-committal of "week or month" is one of the funniest, and by funniest, I mean ing stupid.
$10K x 52 weeks = $520,000
$10K x 12 months = $120,000

that, and, THEY FREAKIN' GET SHOT AT AND CAR BOMBED!
Considering the average nba salary for a player is $5 million, I think your logical reasoning is weak.
do you watch the nba to watch the refs? prolly not. so, assuming most fans (i'd go so far as to say all, but mayhap you disagree) follow the nba for the players, and the nba is a multi-million enterprise taking in the tv deal, merchandising, etc., allowing a proper cut of that to those players only seems fair. they make millions because they generate millions. the same can't be said of refs.
Mercenaries? Do they have a union or something?soldiers or mercenaries make about US$10k per week or month...something along the lines of that and its cash in hand
You act like you have no clue how our society functions. You should know by now that all the real easy jobs....police officer, teacher, fireman aren't financially rewarding jobs but personally rewarding jobs.
Its the hard jobs that earn the big bucks....raping white chics, killing dogs in unusually freakish ways, dealing drugs, fixing games, pounding roids inbetween homeruns, drinking and driving after pitching a tough game, decapitating former lovers and her friend on a whim. Its ing hard to do that . God damn right they get paid.
<----- ?????
10 x 12 = 120,000
Whoops.<----- ?????
10 x 12 = 120,000
These same guys saying the refs are not compensated proportionately to the players have no problem having the beer guy schlep up to their nosebleed seats every 15 minutes so they can get bombed at the game. Beer guy makes a of a lot less than an NBA ref, and they take him for granted to be at their beckoned call simply because they paid for a ticket.
What do soldiers have to do with NBA refs?
If you want the best, you need to pay to get the best. Unfortunately, paying to get the best doesn't seem to get the best.
Bet those CBA negotiations are a bit tense, eh?
so if the refs make 260K. that means they are on the same pay level as our president. ha. i always thought refs made around 100,000 but 250k surprises me. they get paid probably more than some of my favorite wrestlers
they do have a crappy, demanding job. paying them less would be incredibly stupid.
I prefer to get the beer on tap @ the game. if beer guy happens to come by then maybe. but we prefer to go on beer runs @ the game
crappy, demanding=$50-$100,000
my job is crappy and demanding, i'm not even close to $50,000. my wife's a high school math teacher, she's still making less than $50,000. you saying teaching hormoned youths a boring, demanding subject isn't worth the same as running up and down the court every so often and blowing a whistle? at its worse, a ref has a bad name hurled his/her way for screwing up a call.
I don't understand the connection between what an NBA ref makes, and a soldier.
Cause nothing connects? One gets paid too much the other gets paid too little. I mean really in a non-entertainment kind of way, you'd think soldiers were recruited and paid millions instead of athletes. Aliens visiting this world would anyways. But we're stupid humans that don't use half our brain.
Lot's of mofos should be getting paid 260K too then for ing bullspit jobs. I bet a bunch of other posters can name 10 jobs at least..
NOT THE GREAT JOHNY-BLAZE_47Whoops.
that is not a overpay salary in today's marketplace
especially considering they are on the road alot
