Is that because it never happened, or because we didn't have the technology to record it and then share it with every human on Earth who has a computer in their hands instantaneously? The idea that humans are becoming less civil (when crime is much lower now than it was in say the 70s or 80s) seems like a stretch to me.I just don't agree with that. I never heard of a youth sports ref getting beat up prior to the last decade or so.
Bill Smith during a Syracuse/West Virginia game in the 1970s physically attacked a ref. But it was just a blurb in a local newspaper that was forgotten about. If that happens today, it would be the biggest sports story in America for a few days in the 24/7 news cycle.
