But I'm the type who would bring this out in an association meeting so the rumor would either have to be verified or discounted.

I am sure this is true on some level, but might not have been communicated in the manner it was here. It is like when people here say, "You are a girls official, I will not hire you for boys games." Now that has been said to people in my area multiple times. I am just wondering if there was more to the comment than "We just do not want to see any women officiating our boys games." And the biggest problem, this is a he said, she said situation. Even if you have this as a court issue, you have to prove more than what someone said to another. You have to have some things documented.
