Like I said, I don't have time for that. I just fill out my availability and then my schedule is filled by our assignor. Simple one-stop shopping. I don't have time to deal with several phone calls or e-mails. My time is more valuable than the assigning fee I pay.
Well the term "slave" does not offend me. I will use it as I see fit, considering my background and feelings on this issue. You might not get beaten, but you sure are getting screwed for paying a fee that is should be between the schools and the assignor. Or if the assignor is hired to work those games, put the expense in the dues up front just like other expenses. I really do not care what kind of taste you think I have, we do not share the same value system on many things.
Why does it not surprise me that you do not care if others get offended. Just more ignorance. All the officials I talk to around here prefer to have their expenses deducted from their check at the end of the year. I prefer it that way too. Any expenses I pay to my association are well worth it.
