Exactly.
Then they won't ever settle. The truth is fans, players and officials can moan all they want... the owners only have to wait until the refs take their offer.
Oh yeah. No doubt, the owners always win. And they will win this one too.
I understand the regular officials miss calls, but not like this IMO.

They have to, right? Did you hear Collinsworth and Michaels? I mean here it is, the Sunday Night showcase game of the week in the NFL and the announcers are laughing at what's going on.

There are always steps leading to the critical turning point when folks turn off the tv. I can't possibly know for sure but seems like your analysts laughing at the games might be one of those.

Also when the NFL Network 2 is front-paging stories ragging on the refs.
Brandon Spikes' wallet is probably going to be a bit lighter this time next week.
Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes took to Twitter to express his anger with the replacement refs.
"Can someone please tell these f------ zebras foot locker called and they're needed Back at work !!!! #BreakingPoint," Spikes tweeted.

I'd be more likely to turn the games off because of some of the analysts than I would the officiating, to this point.
There are some bad calls, granted. But there were awful calls with the regular officials, too. I think it's just all under a microscope right now.
