Question TV show slur

Hi guys. I came over from the basketball forum again to ask this of you. I was watching an old "Password Plus" on Game Show Network and one of the puzzles had as it's answer - "Umpire". One of the clues was the word "blind". Now I haven't officiated a baseball game since I was a teenager (about two centuries ago) but it offended me a little. Do you guys, who actually are umpires, take offense when you hear someone make this kind of statement. I realize it was just an old game show, but does something like this matter to you?
