Roped into officiating?

Yeah, I've been roped in too. First time, started out doing basketball, then ended up adding softball and baseball. Got out of those because of a job. After I left that job, and got into my current position, I went back to softball, then one of the partners convinced me to do basketball, then another softball partner roped me into football. One of the guys I did football with was giving up doing track (starter) and suggested I give it a try. I'm a sucker for being roped in, but at least I only pick the sports I know something about. Had someone try to rope me in for soccer-no way! Don't know a dang thing about it!
