He walks in the field with an attitude that most always ends in ridiculous penalties for no reason other then he’s not a nice human.

100%. Today I saw two refs responding to fans. I mean, if you’re a good ref, you don’t even listen to that garbage from the bleachers. Call the game. If you’re really that sensitive, you likely didn’t play a sport — certainly not at a high level— and this is your big opportunity to have an impact. BAD scenario.

You all need to wake up to the reality of the situation. It’s not just lacrosse, the same email has been sent to parents of all youth sports. No amount of money will entice people to put up with the nonsense from all of the entitled parents who are screaming at them over a youth sports game. Here’s an idea, recognize that the refs are generally retired and doing this for some extra cash. They are human beings. If they miss a call of two relax, it won’t make a difference to the future D1 scholarships you have dancing in your heads.
