As for "It's all about the kids," I just ignore the ambiguous statement. It's not like you're going to get a good answer asking someone what they mean.

I treat players/athletes in a professional manner. Most of the time at least, sometimes I can't resist telling a player/coach my opinion on their amazing play after they've given me their opinion on my call.

My only point was that whatever your reason is you officiate, it is your reason. I am not looking for an answer or even care why someone answers as long as they are doing something they enjoy and it is legal and moral. Other than that, I really do not care why someone officiates. Some official just to make money. Some officiate to stay in shape. Some officiate because they want to stay close to the sport and some officiate just because the want to get out of the house. All those things and more are fine by me.
