I pledged never to do church or wreck league ball. Educational athletics only.
Then an area guy begged me and a couple of other guys to do an older adult rec league he was putting together "where there will be no competition, just fun........" We consented and they got three or four advanced high school officials to do their games. Beginning stated philosophy of the league went down the toilet the very first night. We bailed midway during the season because they broke their stated philosophy under which we agreed to serve. The league folded, unable to attract suitable officials.
Just desserts.
Back to organized educational athletics totally again, and happy.
