Vandalman Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 A little bit of booing the ref has always been there and is probably expected. In fact it's just part of the atmosphere of the game, but it really has gotten noticably worse the past few years. Fortunately I've not been at a game where it got violent but we've all seen the videos. I think it's about time they did something. If not, there may come a day where absolutely nobody wants the ref job and then what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course with the refs I meant it metaphorically, but you're absolutely right. Something needs to be done about that too, and in my opinion it has very little to do with gun control...but I won't say anymore so this won't get derailed to the political forum lol.

Being attacked, taking crap from low tier assistants, dealing with undisciplined players… penalize the schools. I’m all for it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomer Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Don't tussle with TASO! They are nice fellas and didn't have me removed from the track but twice last year. A new record low! They are simply the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
