This is true. EVERYONE complains about officials at one point in their lives. However, once i became a baseball umpire, i realize how hard the job is for any sport, and i likewise look down upon the people who used to criticize like i used to.

Hypocritical as it may sound, it's one of those "walk a mile in his shoes" type deal- for everybody.
