hmmm...
I got into it because I couldn't stand idly by while 'daddy umps' (untaught, unskilled, biased, mal-equipped spectators coerced into officiating because no one else will do it) butchered the game.
I remain in it because 'the game' has given me a view otherwise unavailable, the mad money which pays for petrol, gear and other tools of the trade, power ( I have a voice in decision making now) and additional credibility my training and experience level affords me.
Take away the mad money and I would probably do much fewer games.
FWIW
