I have witnessed over the years in officiating how some of the officials are so caught up in moving up the ladder, that they will sell there soles to the devil to do so.

Is this an advocation filled with men/women who lack integrity?

As far as the first part of the post quoted here, I would agree that there are people who do that. BUT - for every one who does sell their soul, there are 2 or 3 others who don't. As far as the second quote, NO!!! Are there officials who lack integrity - yes. BUT - for every one of them...I think you get my drift. Perhaps you (Love2ref) have just been encountering the wrong type too much lately, and need to start seeking out the type of officials you want to spend your time with...they're out there - even in New York!
