We actually had a guy in our crew straight outta Lawng Isl'nd. He would never stop b1tching about this, that and the other thing. "We need to get paid more" or "we need to start doing this or that." The fella would not stop complaining. He knew the game very well, but he didn't know how to play the other game: politics. He caused more controversy than any other umpire I ever met. It rubbed way too many people the wrong way.
Eventually, he stopped getting assignments, especially for tourneys. Life's been much simpler since then.
