[QUOTE="Brevity Frog, post: 3349875, member: 73360"] Zebra, you’re a personal fave poster, but respectfully, I disagree utterly. Let’s pretend someone wrote the same thing about lawyers. “Just try taking the bar exam and when you fail then go to school for years and dedicate yourself to learning the law and then if you pass then put yourself in the courtroom and ….blah blah” Lawyers make tons of sacrifices and work very hard to get where they are and law is extremely competitive and difficult. BUT There are some bad lawyers out there. Really terrible ones who are rotten at their jobs. There are dishonest lawyers and lawyers on the take and lawyers who are incompetent and lawyers who make critical mistakes. Lawyers who aren’t smart enough to get the job done well and lawyers who don’t belong in the profession. They are yelled at and criticized and sued and many times they deserve it. Same for refs. I’m convinced that there are refs who don’t belong out there at all and refs who are on the take (Mavs v Heat series sealed that deal for me to a certainty). It’s a good ol boy network in many ways (see sons with “famous” ref dads accelerating to the NFL). In short, if refs take heat for doing a terrible / incompetent / dishonest job, they are criticized and yelled at and many times they deserve it. They don’t get sued so it’s not close to as risky as it is for the lawyers. Refs deserve what they get most of the time IMO. The “getting yelled at” part is a part of the job and I am unmoved by the FB poster’s high-handed post. How I wish the refs out there were of your quality! [/QUOTE]
