Back to EpisodesEmergency Pod on dealing with Dissent as a Referee
Published 2 years, 7 months ago
Description
I was absolute rocked to my core listening to a young referee describe the offensive verbal abuse she received at a High School Soccer match this past week in Southern California. Unfortunately, these stories are far too common.
In the moment, it can hard to tell what is common outbursts of emotion, dissent or OFFINABUS language. Additionally, it can be hard to summon the courage to confront that abuse head on.
By discussing this and sharing this story, I hope we can all get stronger together.
I've added a few LOTG hot takes and a nice letter from the mail bag to end this POD on a Positive note.
