Minor sport... so what?
Debeau,
softball it's not sport n°1 in Italy, too (as you all can easily imagine).
But umpires here are paid. Why they shouldn't be?
I can also say softball is emproving a lot all over Europe and, sure, umpires are paid also in Russia, Croatia, France, Germany, etc. Name a country and I will tell you: yes, umpires get a (small) fee to direct a game.
Here in Italy it's not a big amount of money, of course, and the 'budget' is thinner (?) year after year. But it's a kind of... RESPECT being paid to do that.
What do you think about this?
A.
