Another great saying that young players learn is "What goes on the field stays on the field". That’s the way sport should remain for both players and officials.
Unlike the business world that seems to be taking over sport, there are a lot of sporting factors that cannot be predicted, controlled, perfected or eliminated. That’s what makes sport the wonderful experience that it is.
The fallibility of the officials, like the fallibility of the players, is part of the beast. To try to change that state of affairs reduces the enjoyment factor for all concerned.
