And making statements like that shows either a deliberate attempt to change the narrative (as in Fucking Moron) OR.. sheer lazy stupidity, as is most likely the case with these refs.
I mean they are high school football refs, not concert 'cellists, for Pete's sake.

On the other hand I know of a great principal orchestral'cellist who is also a girls' soccer coach. So there is that.

On edit.-- Assistant soccer coach, as he is careful to point out. LOL
