Giving Game Fees back

Let me throw in that its not a situation of an assignor lining the pockets. It is probably more like an assignor is doing something to appease coaches.

Its the type of situation where if I walk, I would probably be the only one. To other umpires, it would look like I was a stubborn a**. I don't really want to blackball myself over it, but I sure as hell don't want to pay it either.

So don't. It's about YOUR principles not theirs.

How about a simple "No thank you". You don't HAVE to umpire, do you? Look, you have been asked to take less money per game, so it's your choice.
