RE: In the Cleats of a Referee: Judge, Jury and Executioner.
Agreed. I would suggest a slightly shorter post next time!
I break this rule all the time, but I try to do 4 paragraphs or less.

Amen @lexiconical I appreciate you helping my friend out. I played soccer with him over in Bowling Green, Ohio. Really awesome, positive guy.
Appreciate you reaching out to help him out
Namaste :)
Happy to help. I think this post might have been the perfect length if it had been split into two. Lord knows all mine are too long.
I also noticed the first half was center-justified, the second half was left-justified. Probably a result of an unclosed or missing (/center) somewhere. Minor nitpick though.
Enjoyed reading about refereeing, I used to be FIFA registered as an official. It's a lot harder than everyone thinks. Belligerent fans should try calling a game...I made a truly horrible offside call that broke a team's 6-0 shutout and they were under-17 state champs so...yeah they were good at berating me for it.
Holy smokes I can't even imagine my friend. Yeah my family, especially my brother Joey who played college and a little pro soccer are huge into soccer. I never reffed, only played. But holy shit do you guys have one of the toughest iron man jobs. That shit is tough. Running in hot weather getting berated as you so finely put and then the one time you make a mistake you get fucked for it. Its truly an incredible position and probably one of the reasons I am pumped to see his content. Got him on here so lets see what the can do.
And I am right there with you, sometimes I find myself being like holy shit this is way too long. But how else can I squeeze this value in. I started using more visuals so we will see what happens bud.
Namaste and thanks again :)
Thank you for your input, I will try to keep future posts shorter just simply for the fact they are easier to read. For the readers that do make it through the post, I'm sure they will enjoy it.
Also, that is awesome! I've only been certified under USSF, I would like to get a certification with FIFA one day. Thank you very much for you comments, some of the calls all sport officials have to make can be really tough to make, and you have to make the call knowing you are going to upset people.
