The US Education systems have become so imbalanced with liberal policies and lack of male influence that our young men are being emasculated! This is just the tip of the iceberg.
I think it is emasculating to have all the moms and dads complaining about their kid being treated unfairly by refs who make a perceived bad call. My sons both would have been very upset if either their dad or I got so involved in fighting a battle for them. We are here to advise them and discuss options, but particularly in sports, they deal with the coach, opponents, refs, etc. That is how you teach them to be men. I also think all the use of the “p” word by grown men is pretty juvenile.
I do agree that there should be some procedure for evaluating refs, but this should be approached as an overall performance, not specific calls in one or two matches. I agree with LancerM that we are seeing way too much whining on the forum this season about specific matches and potentially wrong calls by the ref. Until we have instant replay, it really doesn't matter what we think or even see on youtube after the fact.
Before you discount me as just a mom, which in itself is wrong, know that I grew up with 3 brothers, have been married for over 30 years and have raised 2 sons who are doing pretty darn well.
Congratulations on a job well done (although your opinion is highly biased! .) I am still doing mine and I didn't criticize your way/methods so give me the same respect. There is a much bigger picture out there than your house. Since your job is done you can respectfully MOVE ON and let us who are still doing ours do it our way. I don't care how many men you have been involved with, you will never know how it feels to become one or be one.
Lou, you are totally wrong about this fight being the kids fight! Heck, parents can't even have a say with the KSHSAA let alone a HS kid!! The battle starts with the school boards but the war is being lost because of gender inequity in the educational system. How dare you accuse me of emasculating my sons! I am teaching them to fight for what they believe in and you should be happy that there are lots of other dads out there over the centuries who have done the same so you can live in the land of the free.
Until there is accountability and an evaluation system there will be more and more bad calls because NOTHING is really being done to improve the system. This forum just might strike up enough interest to get some ideas generated to come up with a plan that can improve and reduce the number of poor officials in big match situations and bad calls that come along with them.

I doubt many have a problem with either word but since you do this is why I prefer the "p" word: Pussification just sounds better than sissification to me.
