Why Soccer Referees Deserve To Be Paid More  

Do you ever think about how much referees get paid? Probably not, but it's worth considering.  After all, they have a tough job. Not only do they have to put up with a lot of abuse from players and fans, but they also have to make split-second decisions that can often determine the outcome of a game. So, are referees underpaid for their job? 

Let's take a look.  

1. It's a tough life being a referee. 

2. You work long hours for not a lot of pay. 

3. And when you do get paid, it's often not nearly enough to cover all your costs. Initial training, DBS checks and safeguarding training, buying the kit and equipment, registering with your county, the cost to get to your assigned games... 

4. If you're thinking of becoming a referee, be prepared to be underpaid. 

5. But it's not all doom and gloom. 

6. There are some benefits to being a referee, despite the low pay. 

7. So if you "love the game" more than your family or leisure time...  

In conclusion, it is clear that referees are paid too low. This is a problem that needs to be fixed in order for the sport to survive. Share this article if you agree that referees need to be paid more.
