We all do this for the kids, yeah right.
Rut, I most certainly do. As I said before, it doesn't make sense to do it for the money. When you figure out your "per hour" ratio, it is peanuts. Most of the officials in my area are professionals and could make more staying a little late at work than they do for the whole officiating season. It is obvious from your statements that you don't do it for the kids. That's fine..but I do and so do many.
Then do not accept money when you are volunteering next time.
If I accepted money, it would not be considered volunteering by definition so that makes no sense. I have often reffed boy's club, special olympics, and other youth tourneys for free. That is called volunteering. Other times I get paid. I would still ref if it wasn't paid...just not so many nights during the season. The money is a bonus and I have never turned it down.
I have never intentionally lied about anything you said. You flame people regularly and then act defensive when I make a reference to your dislike for AAU ball which you have railed on endless times. You are hard to follow quite often. You seem to contradict yourself quite often. You claim to not care what anyone says yet you go to great lengths (and many paragraphs) when someone disagrees with you. You re-open closed threads to "get in the last word." You say some of us don't have a life because we do some AAU ball which is really none of your business. Besides, I do one sport and you do three so if your definition of not having a life is too much reffing, look in the mirror. Take your own advice and chill.
