It appears you have taken this out of context. A lot of this thread is about the troubles we all have had in games -- especially youth leagues.
In no way am I in it for the money. As we've all said on here - with the dangerous situations out there with leagues that have no real way of controlling their fans and coaches -- we have a right to say - 'fix the problem' before we get out there.
I have worked plenty of games FREE - to help the kids playing - to help the younger officials -- to teach coaches ---to help the league that helps look after us.
I'm just saying - if it's dangerous -- no amount of money makes it worth it. If all you are going to get are headaches and problems from coaches/fans who have no clue along with the 'higher ups' not backing you up - no amount of money - or gaining experience time - is worth it.
It's not our responsibility to teach the coaches / administrators how to run the league. We can help them w/ rules and try to teach good sportsmanship - but we have the right to be / feel protected. If we can't be protected - and feel safe -- somebody is not doing their job and somebody has crossed the line. That's where it's not worth it. I've seen it happen and it isn't pretty - or good for the kids to witness.
