Let me let you in on a little secret. Most umpires working during the summer are in it for the money!!!! Most games during the summer are nothing but money grabs from the standpoint that games usually have little or no significance to the umpire or official. At least that is the case where I live.

I work a lot of summer basketball and almost all the officials that are white never move and that is even the very good and experienced official.

I really do not understand the generalizations you just made.
