It's getting tiresome reading the "hittin' kittens" comments from some people all the time. I guess only high level teams matter.
so its ok to scream and yell and abuse them??? Have you asked other umpires why there is a shortage? I ask them at every tournament and they say too many people yelling at them and cursing at them because they think a call was wrong. No one needs to hear thatDont buy that for a penny.
Simply because
It's a job like many many other jobs that get the brunt of the Public's stuff.
~At least
Umpiring comes with authority.
Most of the time they are their own boss.
Why would you even attach that to my post???so its ok to scream and yell and abuse them??? Have you asked other umpires why there is a shortage?

Then why don't you become an umpire and show everyone how good you are and be a great example of a competent blue?
People get WAY to amped up on bad umpires. Who cares if an ump sucks? At least they're out there taking flak and letting all our "little susy's" play the game that they (and we) love.
All of these Hitten Kittens' sunday friendlies with bad umps mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. A bad ump never held a kid back from getting better at the game WHICH IS THE PURPOSE. In the games that matter, usually in the summer and for the big orgs, umpires will be better trained and more competent. At least that is my observation.
