I agree with Mregor's attitude!
Several years back I worked with a "veteran" partner who vehemently commented
during halftime about the blowout and unsporting action of the home team to
keep pressing. He managed to keep reasonably level-headed throughout the 2nd half.
Unfortunately, after the game in the officials dressing room, he made a brief
comment of disgust and then decided to leave and let the home team coach know
how he felt his choice to press on the entire game. The final score was 99-14.
The visiting team was a cross-town parochial school.
I did attempt to dissuade him from going back at the coach, but he was
hell-bent on making his point. To the best of my knowledge, that
veteran official has not seen another contract in our area.
