The thing that really bugs me is that there is a shortage of umpires in my area. Everyone complains that the umps we do get are all "old geezers" and they cannot get younger people to take up umpiring. People like this parent are the reason that nobody wants to ump anymore!
Like I mentioned in an above post I’m an official (soccer). Clueless parents screaming at and berating new referees are why we have a shortage in many/most sports.
After a recent game I heard a frustrated parent explaining to another parent how the ref was wrong to disallow a goal because of an offside call (the call was 100% correct). He was speaking like he knew what he was talking about and the the ref was an idiot.
