Don’t trust sports umpires or referees. I played in a softball 🥎 game and the umpire really missed a call on a play. I ran up to him and asked if I could be thrown out of the game for what I was thinking. He said no. So I told him what I was thinking and he threw me out of the game anyway. Like I said, you can’t trust them.

Real story - I coached middle school softball. Normally, I was the laid back, the umps do their best, etc on close calls. However, in one game, with one out to end it, the ump made an egregious call at first. I followed the umps back to their car, not swearing but chastising the call. At some point, I said that I'm starting to believe the rumors that the school paid them off (it was our main rival). The next day I went in early to tell the athletic director he might get a call. He said, "Already have. If it was upper school, PIAA, (as when I coached soccer) I'd have to give you a day off, fuck-em."
I loved my AD - the students called him T-Bone.
