Most of my officiating war stories deal with players in local adult soccer league, but man, parents are the worst. The kids are so much happier when no parents show up, I wish more games were played without them. I don't know what universe they were raised in to think verbally abusing my 13 year old assistants referees is OK, but jeez. "The refs suck!" Well maybe if you stopped abusing the younger ones they would stay in it and learn to be better? I have had folks come up to me after games to tell me how bad of a job I did. There have also been some demanding my name to report me which seems to happen a lot when I'm working with my assignor. I just point to him and say "Lucky day, he is the one who takes those reports." One time some parents said they were gonna call the cops on us? Still not sure what that was about. Haven't had a physical confrontation yet with a parent. I *think* someone tried to follow me home after a state championship game, so to be safe I pulled into the police department parking lot that is on the way home and the dude kept going so possible crisis averted?
