In what state do high school umps only make $50? I find that hard to believe that any state pays that little.

I don't think the exact number was the point.

I wouldn't do it for $100

It's not for everybody.

Saying that, we take way more abuse from smooth-brains than we should

Football is 115 here

I make 150 a night doing soccer games. I like doing them. It keeps me in decent shape and the parents are farther away

I’m sure he was taking crap all game and probably just got to a boiling point and said I’m out. But yeah more context would be helpful

I've had to step it before for rec games when I go watch when we're not playing.

There was a small end year tournament they called me out of the stands to help.

Everyone pretty much knew or has seen me coach there for last 5 years or so and they still gave me a ration of shite. In a coach pitch league...

So many parents get so wrapped up you think it's all they have in life. Maybe it is.

They need Jesus.

Any umpire that thinks he's too good to ask for help when that's part of the game (especially when there's only two umpires for a high school game) doesn't need to be umpiring. Assholes like him ruin the game.

fricking piece of shite @ the UNO-MISS Valley St game should fricking do this.


I know someone on the UNO team. According to him he's generally a good ump and MVSU was arguing every pitch and every call all night. Ump got fed up, the batter got stupid after the 2nd strike, ump lost his cool and basically said frick you on that call.

Doesn't excuse the call, but there was way more to it than "batter was pissed a ball was called bad so ump retaliated next pitch".

If he’s out of line you eject him. You don’t get to ruin the integrity of the game because your feelings are hurt. Call it fair or don’t do it at all.

I’m guessing TJ doesn’t also coach baseball because he’s an idiot on the football field

I can guarantee that dude has a huge strike zone.

The question was whether he offered at the pitch via bunt, right? I always thought that was the umpire behind the plate’s call. It wasn’t a check-swing.

Arkansas HS football is generally $110-$150 depending on the conference. The lower levels obviously pay less and that’s usually where you take the most abuse. Not saying this guy should’ve walked off in the middle of a game but when you start figuring the hourly rate compared to expenses and one’s tolerance for bullshite I get it.

Georgia high school football is $110 across all classifications in the regular season. $125 for the first 3 rounds of the playoffs and $150 for the semis/finals.
