Clearly, civil rights laws have infringed on individual, not just governmental, "rights." Over time, I think the "laws" have helped to bring about a changed -- albeit far from perfect -- attitude. You say that you don't "like" girls basketball? Perhaps that attitude might change, over time....
It is different to deny someone an opportunity to requiring someone to work a game they do not want to. You might get some officials quit or decide to work more college ball. I guess you could put in all these requirements, but there are ways around this. I know there is a shortage around the country, why give officials another reason to stop working all together?
