More background check incidents....

[IRISHMAFIA]

Background checks are a waste of time and money, provide a false sense of security and catch only those that have already been caught, but even that is not a guarantee. I will never agree to one.

There is absolutely ZERO advantage to performing BI on umpires as an umpire should NEVER be alone with a player. And no check is going to stop anyone who wants to be.

I would guess some putz may come up with, "but if it prevents one....". GMAFB. Where are the parents, coaches and other team adults?

You can do all the checks you want, it will provide no additional protection to the player.

BTW, the above goes for the coaches also and that gets proven about three to four times a year in my area. Willing to bet it is the same everywhere.
