Power trip? There for the money? Just because they officiate two sports?

Lah me......

Did the thought ever cross your mind that maybe....just maybe.....because do two sports because they need to be around those two sports? They can't not be around those two sports?

Congratulations. You just dumped on a whole bunch of fine officials without ever having met them.
