eg. Hey look its the refs!
Ooh we got a new boy on this one
What's the jackets for? Trying to hide like we don't know who ya'll are?
Who are you, kid? you ain't from around here. They give ya some fancy shirt and whistle and you think you can ref just anywhere?
and etc.
We also have guys who hang out on the corner and try to mess with us or sell us stuff when we show up (we wear our uniforms to games as there are no private changing facilities)
The extremely rich neighborhoods are just as bad, with kids who think they can have whatever they want if 'Daddy buys it'. Then they come screaming and hollering with their parents when a call goes against them.
I think I'll get off my soapbox. I fear that I've started a highly controversial subject here.

They're doing this because you're young and the adults are letting them. I'll never understand why people think that behavior is acceptable.
