Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 876005, member: 285"] The lack of respect given to game officials in all sports at all levels is really ridiculous. Could officials do a better job? In many cases probably yes, but does anyone really think they are intentionally blowing calls or intentionally trying to favor one team over another? I don't. You see highly visible guys in the pros or in college berate an official. Then you go to youth sporting events from high school down to little league and watch coaches, parents and players abuse officials. Half the time the people complaining are complaining not because the call was truly wrong but because it was called against their team. Why anyone would want to officiate a game is beyond my understanding?? [/QUOTE]
