This is true except more accurately you are speeding to work everyday but do not know the speed limit/ that you are speeding. Also everyday you drive by a police officer whos is allowing you to travel at that speed. Then one day on the way to work a different officer pulls you over and informs you that you've been speeding and you are getting a ticket.

He's not wrong but I bet you are way more pissed off than if the first guy had pulled you over and warned u/ given you a ticket on Monday.

Coaches get pissed off all the time. I can't base my officiating on how other people call games. If I had a dollar for every time a coach said this (in 3 sports), I could retire.

All we can try to do is educate through our associations and get people to call the games consistently.

It's still not the cops fault that you got a ticket for speeding. It's yours.
