I don't know you from Adam and I don't have anything against you. That said why do you work a sport that you have such distain for. I work multiple sports also and baseball happens to be my favorite. As such I find it offensive that all umps are fat and lazy. I assure you in this area that is not the case. You have to pay your dues to get varsity, it's not a right away thing. I also work college, but I work Legion in the summer. Around here it's very good ball. They play in the adult league when they aren't playing their league.

If you think it's such a bad sport why come to discussion groups like this. Just curious.
