[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don’t get it.  Are the parents/players/coaches hoping to notify the ref of a rule they may be unaware of?  Hoping the ref becomes more lenient to your team on future calls?  Trying to distract them from reffing the game?  Just generally need a target to take out frustration?

I watch people shouting at refs and I seriously don’t understand what good they can think might possibly come of it.  I feel like I’m missing something here.

Refs at all level of sports get yelled at during games. Even in tennis, fans will whistle at judges and players. It is absolutely a part of sports culture. If you want to watch a game in silence, watch at home or move to Japan. In 'Merica, we let refs and players know what we are thinking. [/quote]

If you don’t understand the difference between professional sports and youth sports, I don’t know what to tell you. [/quote]
