‘Despite that, the state of officiating in the league continues to get worse every year. Somehow, the league still doesn’t have full-time officials. The majority of the 121 officials working on 17 crews have days jobs. Referee Carl Cheffers, who worked Saturday’s game, is his 18th season. He works a day job as a sales manager. Members of Cheffers’ crew work as a financial adviser, a real estate agent and a middle school teacher, among other professions.’
