This pretty much sums it up.
And I also have worked both sports in the past at the HS and college level. I no longer do baseball and probably will not be going back to that sport.
And I could add that football officials get yelled and hollered at in a way that neither baseball or basketball officials would tolerate.
Sports have different standards. That is never going to change.
