While I can't speak to the issue of refereeing or anything related to sports... I can say simply that your "Understanding" may be a bit skewed... I have had the opportunity to spend a considerable amount of time in many different countries. "Extremely low regard"??? There are a few out there, I'm sure, but lets not generalize... Or at least until "you've" been there...
