Nobody has talked about the Zebras.
Many are not spring chickens. There supposed to be out there on the field.
Interesting, I thought it was hilariously awesome how a few years ago the NFL thought they would be able to poach CFB officials during the strike…in the case here I think masks are pretty good protections for CFB officials.
If they have underlying health conditions, they should take a pass. Most however are pretty buff.
The NFL could not poach college refs as most CFB supervisors(a number of which are NFL officials) warned them that if they did this they would lose their position on their staffs. There were a couple of local HS officials who worked in the NFL. As you remember it was such a fiasco they settled with the NFL officals.
