Funny Dialogue You've Had w/ Player or coaches...

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

This happened during a boys' H.S. jr. varsity soccer game that I officiated many years ago.

It was one of those late afternoon games played in the middle of October when the weather had already turned winter like. The temperature was already in the mid-30's and there were some snow flurries. I was doing the shoe and a shin guard check with the home team (Now keep in mind just about everybody was wearing gloves, hoodie sweatshirts and stocking caps.)when I made the following humorous (At least I thought it was humorous.) comment: I hope you guys have fur lined cups, meaning the cups in the athletic supporters that us manly men wear. Immediately after I said it a very feminine voice in the middle of the group of players said: "I don't know about the rest of them, but mine are." She said this while cupping her gloved hands on her chest. We all had a very good laugh.
