I hate the phrase "It's for the kids" as much as anything.

I despise anyone telling me that there's a right and wrong reason for officiating. My reasons are my reasons.

I get physically nauseous when I see it.

I gotcha. I've ruffled a few feathers & pinched a few nerves. I'm dealing w/ a fraternity of brothers that I don't have any part of.

I apologize. I never stated why you all do it or said there's a right or wrong way of reffing. When I said "fight for the kids." I was referring to the point that for the most part the kids can only talk to the ref about so much. They don't know how to talk to refs. I always tell the kids, you play and let me talk to the refs. Yes, I may not have liked a call but I'm not going to use that phrase as a cop out.
