The average pay for an NFL referee will be $173,000 in 2013. I'm all for them getting it and the $205,000 they'll receive in 2019, and so, it seems, is most of the country.
As a point of comparison, Chicago teachers make $71,000. NFL referees work one day a week for about 5 months. I don't know how many days Chicago teachers work, but it's way more than that.
