It makes total sense. It's becoming established legal doctrine that a person cannot truly sign away their liability, it seems.
Furthermore, even if Mom and Dad and all living Grandparents attempt to sign a waiver, you'd need to get one from every parent of every child playing in that game. And that's assuming the waivers would actually protect the official from liability; a dubious proposition at best.
Pushing for a waiver could be viewed as an acknowledgment of the dangers, leaving you wide open for a lawsuit.
