Does anyone know of an actual incident of a sports official involved in this sort of behavior/crime?

I seem to remember that years ago, a former Referee Magazine columnist, who was a well known high school official in his state, was accused of molesting his own grandson.

But I do agree with your main point. Officials are extremely unlikely to commit such a crime. And officials are probably the least likely to have the opportunity to do so.

This is just lawmakers trying to act like they are doing something and not thinking things through. Gee, when has that ever happened before?

I was reading something about being an official and that because "we" are never unsupervised around the kids that "we" shouldn't be in the line of fire....

lawmakers writing a bad law ???

[sarcasm]shiocking !![/sarcasm]

hopefully things will
"shake out" before the season begins
after all-- we have a contract with the
schools and it does not include any
background checks for this season !!
