Crowd hurls vile chants at female goalie as high school hockey game turns ugly

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Here In Illinois...

...in the far south part of the state a series of football games were played with three to ZERO referees because so many quit over the constant abuse.
One umpire was getting nasty calls to his house. A linesman got hit with a water bottle. A head ref was threatened with a beating by a coach, with an irate parent standing right there screaming, too.
The usually have six officials. So they went to half or less the required amount for many games.
Teams tried to get parents to volunteer, but IHSA rules say officials must be certified and they would suspend teams if they used uncertified officials.
All because fans & participants didn't know how to behave.
