How Much Has Your Apearence Hurt You,Or Helped You As A Referee

[williebfree]

It appears that this topic has "hit a nerve" with a few of the "regulars."

I would tend to agree with Rut on this... Just as in all other aspects of life, appearance is a sizeable portion of the "judgement." I know that I am one of the guys who don't "look the part" and accept that I have two choices: 1.) lose the weight, or 2.) accept that I will be passed over for upper level assignments. That is indeed a fact of life.

What do you do about it?
