"And it is a huge pet peeve of mine to be told by guys like you what I should be doing because I am an umpire or officiate other sports. You have no idea what I have to do in my daily life or the lives of others when it comes to umpiring. If you want to work these leagues, more power to you. Do not tell us what we have to do because you feel everyone should work all levels at all times. Until we get paid 6 figures for umpiring, then we all have a right to make choices how we see fit."
Thanks, Mr. Rutledge. I couldn't have provided a better example of how selfish our society has become and the attitudes people have concerning community service. I appreciate your assistance in illustrating my point. Your attitude has become pervasive..."sorry...won't do it unless you pay me...and it has to be enough!...Oh, and I have to enjoy it...if it might be a little work, forget about it!"
Sounds like your opinion of yourself as god's gift to officiating one-ups a parents opinion that "little Johnny" is god's gift to sports.
