Coaches and players violently attack youth football referee

Yes, I agree. Yet in many sporting events there is little sportsmanship shown. I've noticed its quite common if those attending a sporting event thinks the referee makes a mistake in a call against their favorite team they will boo the referee. In the past I have asked those that do this, 'Don't you feel your setting a bad example for the children?' The answer was always no.

The whole thing is a disgrace. The people who attacked the ref should get serious jail time for this. I heard that in Florida attacking a ref is a felony (and it should be, they are in a vulnerable situation).

It is good strategy. Sports Illustrated published a study that showed that reason for home court (field, diamond, ice, ect) advantage is the crowd's psychological influence on the officials.

Yes, its nice, the parents teach the children to respect the referees & the calls they make during the game, yet when the parents are watching a game, they boo the referee if they disagree with the call.

Some of them that boo the referees are quite mad, & if they got their hands on the referee at that moment he would not be safe. And at times they have to have protection leaving the field.

So sad.
