RE: Soccer Players are Such Babies! Being a Referee Sucks.

in #fifa6 years ago

Eh, fair points. But getting pissed at the referee is not exclusive to soccer.

Ever seen Tim Duncan's face when he was called for a foul? Ever seen Mike D'Antoni on the sidelines during NBA games? Ever seen Manu Ginobili flop to get foul calls?

Let's switch sports. Have you never seen baseball managers and players get in umps' faces for what they perceive to be bad calls? Or seen coaches and players on the sidelines get ticked off for a phantom pass interference call? I've done my fair share of lip-reading.

Soccer has a problem with reffing authority, but to make it sound like it's only a soccer problem, that's nonsense.
