I heard on the radio that the total dollar amount the two sides are fighting over is less than six million. You've got a multi billion dollar industry and are willing to allow your league to look like a national joke for, comparatively, pennies?

Well, that is a bit of a strawman. 12 million is also pennies, why not just give them that?
I think both sides need to come to an amicable solution and meet somewhere in the middle. Once they do that, officials need to have a much more significant review process that weeds out the individuals who have poor performance.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
And what's with this "THERE SHOULD'VE BEEN PI CALLED ON THAT PLAY TOO!"" baloney?
That happens on every single hail mary pass. When is that ever called?
I wonder how Scott Walker feels about this union battle?

Just saw this tweet. Not sure about the validity of the statement, but nonetheless:
Just a reminder: The @nfl is locking out the real refs to save $62k per team. That's about how much each team sells in pretzels per game.
The league wants them to be full time employees. Right now most are not. Most have second jobs. The issues they are debating are how to do that. And with all labor disputes, it's not about what's fair, it's about what the employees are worth to the company. The first three weeks are showing that the refs are worth more then than league thought they were.

In reality, if the ball falls incomplete, no one would care.
But had the guy who gave a shove in the back wound up catching it there would be uproar.
The onus really is on the offense to make a clean catch, dirty play in the end zone is ignored if it is picked or goes incomplete. Just the way it goes. Unless you are the Browns, who lost to Detroit recently on a defensive PI in the end zone (which was blatant).
