Liga Nasional Sepak Bola Amerika (NFL) tengah mempersiapkan langkah antisipatif menyusul ancaman lockout yang dapat melibatkan wasit reguler. Mulai Jumat ini, NFL akan memulai pelatihan bagi wasit pengganti sebagai persiapan jika perjanjian kerja saat ini berakhir tanpa kesepakatan pada 31 Mei mendatang.
Sementara itu, NFL telah mengumumkan susunan resmi wasit untuk musim 2026. Menurut laporan Kevin Seifert dari ESPN, distribusi tugas tersebut dilakukan minggu ini. Seifert juga menyebutkan bahwa terdapat indikasi kemajuan dalam negosiasi antara NFL dan NFL Referees Association untuk mencapai kesepakatan baru dalam Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Kedua belah pihak, terutama NFL, kini terlihat lebih kooperatif dalam upaya menghindari konflik terbuka. Sikap saling menghormati ini diharapkan dapat mempercepat proses negosiasi demi kepentingan bersama. Meskipun demikian, sejarah menunjukkan bahwa negosiasi kontrak besar sering kali penuh tantangan.
Jika tidak dicapai kesepakatan, risiko terjadinya insiden seperti Fail Mary 2012—di mana kesalahan wasit memicu kontroversi besar—dapat terulang kembali. Kegagalan dalam menyelesaikan perbedaan saat ini tidak hanya akan merugikan kedua belah pihak, tetapi juga merusak integritas olahraga yang mereka kelola.
