I interviewed awhile back and brought it up as I knew interviewer was a big sports fan. I say it's a plus, the more you can provide to a prospective employer as to what defines you the better IMHO. Being involved in associations, etc can also be a plus and perhaps one is on the board of their local association. It's definitely an ice breaker and allows you to amplify your people/management/leadership skills if it applies to job description.
That said, I'd have a tough time telling prospective employer that I need to be here or there to officiate. Personally, I'd have to work around that situation.
To most it's an avocation, but a big part of your life.
