[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do referees ref Hispanic kids differently than the other kids?[/quote]

Btw ... we did not have this problem in EDP.[/quote]
Just luck. Same refs in NCSL, CCL, NPL, etc as EDP.  You can go get certified and the following week center ref a U16 EDP game.[/quote]

then just luck. The old guy with the crazy white hair who refused to move more then 5 yards from midfield was a fixture in NCSL- haven't seen him yet in EDP [/quote]

Exactly. I just figure EDP had different training for style.[/quote]

There's no league-specific training. We're certified by U.S. Soccer.

(OK, Vienna's rec league requires a mentor meeting before your first game. Nothing new covered.)

I'm checking the list of available games from one (1) assignor: NCSL, CCL, DC United Academy (not sure if it's a league game or a friendly), Arlington's high school rec league, VSA's rec league, some rec leagues doing their own thing with SFL down, ECNL (that surprises me), and yes, EDP.

That assignor is also responsible for the Hunt Country Fall Classic and did the assignments for Battleground.

A different assignor did the WAGS Tournament and would've done the Herndon All-Star tournament if it hadn't been canceled. That assignor also has some CCL and EDP.

Want to know one really weird thing about EDP? While most payments are handled by a centralized payment management system, some EDP games pay cash on the field.

So if you see a ref taking a handout, no, that's not a bribe!

Okay, so why are Hispanic kids treated differently?

Why do you cheat on your taxes?

(OK, seriously - can you cite some examples? Particular types of incidents?)

I did once see a Hispanic ref who clearly had a racial bias toward a Black player. That was awkward.[/quote]

Do you mean racial bias or sexual preference?[/quote]
