i thinks it is sport
In case of Cricket, ICC(international cricket council) pays the umpires
MLB (Major League Baseball)
sport officials are people such as the refferies and umpires and linesmen. they are impartial and do have first aid training.
Expenses for umpires are typically covered by the organization or league that oversees the sporting event. This can include travel, lodging, and per diem for meals. In some cases, individual teams may also contribute to these costs, especially in lower-tier leagues. Overall, the financial responsibility for umpire expenses usually falls on the governing body of the sport.
I think the highest paying sport would have to be golf.
to help make calls clearer and fairer in baseball games to handel sport games and events
Probably football
Umpires
football, more people are into that sport
Badminton, Tennis, Table tennis and swimming.
I'm not sure if you're American (USA) or not, but when you say football do you mean American football or Soccer? Either way football pays more then baseball because it's a more spread out and more popular sport throughout the world than baseball is. Hope this helps.
There are usually 3 umpires in cricket
