These are the same rules of logic that assign false to the statement, "You miss 100% of the shots that you don't take."

I'm a fastpitch softball umpire. I'm not sure it is a sport vs sport thing. Some people are just jerks.

I really can't believe it when some jack-*** comes on the basketball board and says "I do HS football" or "I've done baseball for 35 years" and then proceeds to tell us how bad the basketball officials are...so - how many of you have gone to one of their boards specifically to blast away at the officials in that sport?
I think this is a totally unfair analogy. You are comparing them coming in during college championships to us going in during the pros. Let's not compare apples and oranges.

I agree. BTW, why do I have to have 10 characters and some other guys don't.

There are no ties. The runner has to beat the ball.

I only officiate one sport....

I have no desire to be b*tched at, whined at, and belittled more than a few months a year.

I'm now eagerly anticipate a flood of wife jokes

Which reminds me of this gem....
