Maybe our stripes should be bullseyes

Do you want the officials too be cheered after every whistle call. The yelling could be that maybe just maybe the official has made a bad call and it's a person's right to scream and yell if they feel the need to. This is the same case in how people on this board can criticize me for my post and how parents can criticize me for any call I make during the game. This is the way things have been for officials since the beginning of time, in our society the official is not overally respected and I feel a big part of that is because the discipline of officials is not known to the general public. I know I hear one of the biggest complaints and it is a complaint I have is no one knows when an official is disciplined for making mistakes. It's obvious if a coach or player is disciplined but an official no one ever knows and eventhough most officials feel they are better than the players and coaches they are not. When they do a poor job they should be disciplined for making mistakes, until the public is aware this is happening the treatment of officials by fans will continue. Sorry for my rant but I look forward to your criticism.

You need to try harder. As a troll, you suck. Hard.
