    • @nebulousisgod
      @nebulousisgod 7 лет назад

      Hugh Mungus Once they become refs, sure. But if the job entails nothing but harsh criticism from one side of the field then what we'll end up with is nothing but a bunch of scum refs who dont give a damn about anything but exploiting the children for their own gain. Like whats happening now.
