You can't be a sports official without a thick skin and a sense of humor. I get the biggest kick out of some of the things parents will say. It's also a great way for kids to make a little extra money after high school if they play a sport but aren't good enough to play in college. Most won't last a season from getting pummeled by the parents and coaches, but some will really get a good jump on a long term side career.
I never understood how nutty parents would get until my own daughter played soccer in school. I found myself running up and down the sidelines like an idiot. Then I understood. So I have a better appreciation for parents and their "passion".
