Officials bashing other officials.....
Hey guys...gals hows it going? I don't know if this is relevant in your association or organization but I cannot stand when other officials say how much better of an official they are than another. I am currently in a very large organization one of the biggest in the country from what I have heard and every game I go to there is just another "story" talked about either pre game/halftime/or post game. I know yes I do get a kick out of other people bragging about themselves getting to officiate a top high school team or something along those lines. But really am I the only one that gets told these things? It just annoys me to hear others bash the fellow officials. Especially if you have to work with this guy hs,rec,or whatever. I know it is offseason but by me there is a lot of work still going around with aau, adult leagues, rec ball, and anything in between! Anyway I can not be the only one in this situation!

In my previous association, there were a couple of officials who would get discussed, but not many. I really don't see it in my current group, other than "he's/she's pretty good." Even the exceptions are more about demeanor than officiating.

From my experiences both near & far, officials (for the most part) are the most gossipy, rumor spreading, school girl in the cafeteria bunch I have ever been associated with.

It comes with the territory. I would not be upset or alarmed by this. There are always going to be people with egos think someone should not be doing something that they are doing. This is not anything specific to an association or area of officiating as there are always people that cannot handle it when others are advancing past them or they are not where they think they should be. We all have egos to do this in the first place, but some do not have them in check.

Peace
