While outright fixing games may not be as prevalent today, bias exists and without reprimands, the blatant errors will continue.

Maybe one of the problems is that our referees are only part-time. Maybe we should make them full-time with more time on task to get it right.

It was "tried" in 2017 /2018

NEWS NFL hires 24 full-time officials in second year of the program
Published 6 years ago on August 31, 2018 By Mark Schultz

The NFL has hired 24 officials as full-time NFL employees for the 2018 season. Last year there were 21 full-timers.

Some full-time officials from last year are not full-time officials this year.

Up until 2017, all NFL officials were designated at part-time employees and worked full-time jobs outside of football (see table below). There has been a drumbeat, mostly from fans and media, to make NFL officials full-time. During the contentious 2012 labor dispute, the NFL put forth a concrete proposal to make some of the officials full-time and it finally came to fruition last year.
