Today, it was my first time as a hockey referee, for a game played by 7-year-olds. At one point, a little boy tripped another boy. Doing my job, I gave him 2 minutes in the penalty box. After the game, I was attacked by a mob of parents. I was even given an optometrist's business card. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while refereeing a soccer game, I was accused of being racist, blind, and a fascist by spectators. The game was played by a group of third graders. FML
Today, I had my first game ever as an ice hockey goalie. Our team didn't have a goalie helmet, so they gave me a regular one which didn't cover me completely. I was worried about it and told my coach, but he said I would be fine. I then took a puck to the throat that sent me to hospital. FML
Today, I took my father to a hockey game. He always has to get pictures with the girls, so while in bag check, he used his breath spray. He got me in the eye, and I was temporarily blinded through most of the first period. FML
Today, I was at a professional hockey game. I wasn't paying attention and a puck was shot into the stands and hit me in the face. My mouth was bleeding and I lost two teeth. As I was trying to cough up my teeth the old man next to me shoved me over and stole the puck. Everyone cheered. FML
Today, I was refereeing a kid's soccer game, and noticed that on the field next to me was a referee I hated working with. I told the other referee I was working with that he was the laziest and most dumbass referee I had ever worked with. She then slapped me, and told me that it was her grandpa. FML
Today, I went to a hockey game. While warm-ups were happening, my favourite player pointed at me and tossed me a puck. It bounced off my hand into another girl's, who was a fan of the other team. She refused to give it back, then walked away and said, "I can't wait to sell this on eBay." FML
Today, I went to my job as an aide for first-grade students. I went home with a swollen face after my student punched me because I was, "making the timer go too fast" and he wanted more iPad time. FML
Today, during our championship field hockey game, my mouthguard fell into a mass of geese poop. The referee made me put it back in my mouth. FML
Today, playing soccer, I jumped up to make a header and clear the ball away from our goal. I got the ball but some guy kicked me in the face. I was taken off. All the parents were horrified, saying how badly my nose must have broken. Turns out my nose was fine. That's just how my nose looks. FML
Today, I had a soccer game. A player from the other team hit me in the face. In the next half, she was the goalie and I was determined to score on her. When I finally got my chance to, everyone cheered, until I kicked the ball into the goal post and it bounced back and hit me in the face. FML

You're a referee - if you take out the home team's star player and they lose, of course the home crowd is going to whoop your ass like angry mobs (I'm assuming a lot here but **** it you know it's most likely true).

Maybe you shouldn't give penalties that easy considering the fact that THEY'RE SEVEN YEAR OLDS!

why? because they're 7 and shouldn't be taught the difference between overly aggressive and competitive behavior?

And in the end, all the kids got "I'm #1" trophies and went out for ice cream. No - no more of this coddling kiddie sports bullshit.

Actually, you train them the right way. There is a huge difference between just falling and a trip. If you actually watch and play hockey, maybe you would understand. Dipshit.

I agree with this guy, there 7 years old ! Most of them can barely skate, if they do something wrong you remind them, sending them to the box makes you look like an idiot. Some people really need to learn hockey before they talk, go watch a 7 year old game and tell me what you see

If a kid trips another kid on the playground, he gets a time-out. If a kid trips another kid on the rink, he gets a time-out. Seems to me like they're enforcing the same kind of discipline the kids should be getting in other areas of life, too. Nothing too grown-up for them to handle.

Get used to it. Parents trying to somehow correct all the failure that is their life by pushing their kids into sports are the worse. You can tell the parents are pushing their kids when they care more about the outcome of the game than the players.

Every parent believes that their kid did no wrong and any call made against their kid is cheating and looking to help the other team. Its lose lose really. If you call you have that team's parents after you. If you don't call you have the opposing team's parents after you.
