Utter nonsense.

Correctly managed, background checks can and have proved very useful in the amateur sports arena.

Locally, they have uncovered at least three officials with convictions of deviant sexual behavior, and on the west side of the state a couple of youth coaches with child molesting backgrounds have been exposed.

That said, that isn't what the MLB umpires are opposed to.
