No its not. It is going to be about players and coaches who are incapable or unwilling to play a game by the predetermined rules.
I love people who "think" the umpire is trying to make the game about themselves. Here's a question. Why?
Are they going to get better and/or more assignments? No.
Are they going to have their picture plastered across the sports section in a positive manner? No.
Are they going to get a better job or become extremely popular? No.
What an umpire working college ball is going to get by not doing their job is a load of HS games the following year because the assigner will not invite them back the next year.
