NFL Replacement Officials

I have to speak my mind about the NFL situation again. The game last night was blown, there is no question about that. I agree the Green Bay Packers won that game and had it taken from them. However, I am sick and tired of all these journalists and sports analyzers demanding that Commissioner Roger Goodell give the officials whatever they demand. The NFL, and professional sports in general, are first and foremost a business. The entire point of a business is to make money. You will argue, no the NFL is there to provide the very best football in the world; then why do they charge to get in? If the NFL existed simply to provide the best possible football experience to their audiences, then they wouldn't care how much it cost, they would do whateer was best for the game. But the NFL is a cartel of businesses. Each of the thirty-two teams are their own businesses with their own target markets and product for each market. Last year, the NFL and it's team owners had to sacrifice their rights as owners in order to not miss any games. The primary right they had to sacrifice were their profits. When you own a company/business, you own the right to any profit that company has at the end of the fiscal year; this is a fundamental business philosophy. It also means, that if your company loses money over the year, you must cover that loss and will get nothig for the year. Yor employees do not share in your potential profits since you pay them a salary, and they do not share in any potential loss the company has since their salary is part of the companies expenses that the owner must pay. Why then, can the NFL players (the players are employees) require that the owners share in any potential profits, in fact, not only share in the profits but give over half the profits to the players union and not share any potential losses. This is a complete disregard for business procedure. but in an effort to keep the fans happy and to not miss any games, the NFL caved to the demands of the players. Now the officials union is wanting a small piece of the pie. The officials are not full time employees; they have other jobs that they work at during the week. Why then must the NFL provide a massive retirment program for employees that only work for them one day a week. Do I like how the current officials are calling the games? NO! Do I think the NFL should cave into the demands of the old officials? NO! Can the NFL make the game better with the current officials? Without a doubt! The NFL should train these current officials and explain the rule book to them. Make these officials just as good as the old officials and then eliminate the need for the old officials. That is my suggestion.
