Perhaps I'm not being clear. What I should have said was that my first impression of multi-sport officials - which has been formed based on what I observe from watching and working with some blowhards in BC - is that they are out there for money and to be authority figures. I didn't say it was like that in Massachusetts, but it certainly doesn't seem like it based on the quotes in that article...

... which are refreshing for me to hear about after working with some egomaniacs who think they're God's gift to basketball, tennis, korfball, football, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, fast pitch softball, standard pitch softball, slow pitch softball, t-ball, curling, figure skating, etc. Either way, I did not intend to crap on anybody. Jurassic, you don't have to "buy" this either if it's not what you're hoping to read.
