I personally think the "blame officials" has always been there....its just that with the media outlets 24/7, fans( really all of us) are fed the "look at the bad thing that happened" story. Ratings, you know.
I also switch to slow pitch softball in mid summer/fall, only because its a change of sport (to a degree) and I'd rather be cool than wear "the gear". Others gripe about SP players but if one keeps control, and tosses those who dont understand, the word gets out, and I enjoy the exercise, fresh air, and the power (the $ aint bad either)....
