I would not leave it OFF a resume, because it does tell a reader that you have a skill set that could be important for a prospective employer. With the unemployment rates being what they are, it may not be a unique story.

As someone who has hired people, it *is* a double-edged sword -- hiring managers don't want to hear about reasons why you won't want to be at work before they decide that they want you and can work around it. There's also the potential perception of the public towards sports officials, which shouldn't be an issue, but could be.
It's up to you whether you put it on a resume or not, but don't think that doing so shouldn't be a well-thought-out decision. Not everyone will think it's a great thing.
