The reason it's gotten so bad is every level of youth sports refuses to pay refs enough to make the never ending abuse from entitled arse parents worth it.

Nah, I'm more inclined to blame the rotten chirren.

I was at a girls middle school basketball game last week and there was a dad in the crowd for the visiting team that was ejected. Best part, his team was up by 7 points in like a 28-21 ballgame. Ref’s weren’t great but it was very even.

How do you get kicked out of a girls middle school regular season game when your team is winning by a good margin?

Lol

ETA: realized the game in the OP was 48-30. Wow. People are idiots

That’s not the reason at all. You get these Ref groups that service different areas for youth and they hire their dipshit buddies instead of people who want to work games and do it correctly.


You don’t think shite pay and insane parents has anything to with referee quality?

The refs are paid fine. What you clowns are doing is taking one scenario and pretending that’s the only one because you don’t know shite.

typical Madking. Thanks for correcting the record. It’s the ref mafia that’s the biggest problem. I stand corrected.

How many refs do you hire per week?

I’d bet dollars to donuts the refs were dogshit in this game. Terrible refs are 99% of all these incidents in youth sports. It’s a shame how bad it’s gotten.



The problem in youth sports is dogshit parents.

They make like $80 a game. That ain’t my idea of getting “paid well” for 2 hours at the game itself plus drive time and giving up evenings after they get off their day jobs.

Where are middle school basketball referees getting paid $80 per game?

Oh and there is a lot more time involved than just drive time and giving up evenings after they get off their day jobs.

I do, I think there’s no question you have idiots out there like Ryan but I attend a ton of games at multiple levels and what I’m talking about happens in close to 50% of the games. I’ve seen something like Ryan happen not even a handful of times.

You're the one who saw a clip of parents brawling at an elementary school game and immediately went to "the refs are to blame," but sure it's everyone else that is "taking one scenario and pretending that’s the only one because (they) don’t know shite"

Never argue with Madking. Incapable of admitting he’s wrong. He legitimately melted for a week when Jayden Daniels came back and argued for weeks into 2023 that he needed to be replaced and now he acts like none of it ever happened.
