My third year of officiating FB and I have a pretty good fan base. My wife and 3 kids typically attend about 3 JV and varsity games a year, more if the games are close to home. She even brings my parents and her parents occasionally. She's a sports nut (Played D1 Basketball for 2 years) and the kids love coming to the games too.
My biggest concern is at half time, my kids (8,6,4) always come running over to me if we are leaving the field for halftime intermission, they give hugs and hi-5s, etc. I love all that, but I always have a little concern about anything that might look like there is favoritism. Of course none of the games are related to me or my family, I just wonder what the visiting team or fans would think if they saw that.
My 6 year old daughter loves telling the fans near her that "my daddy is the big guy in the middle". Hopefully they understand its the ump, not the d-lineman.
