In reply to: oh man, you'd be surprised posted by jt

Doing soccer and baseball refereeing on the weekends for youth leagues. I thought it would be fun more than anything, don't really need the cash per se. Then I read some stuff from people who had done it, and it sounds like a potential nightmare. A lot of psycho parents treat the refs/umps like they're calling game 7 of the World Series. What is wrong with these people?
