Good point, good point...although I have to admit I've enjoyed all the Angel Hernandez jokes and memes that have been flying around the internet.

I once kept the clock for a middle school basketball game, and it was the most stressful evening of my life, lol. My heart rate still elevates at the memory of the crowd screaming "CLOCK" at me.

Maybe I just haven't had a very stressful life, or maybe umps and refs should be sainted.

And umpires get more attention because of the perception that they have a huge impact on the game because they make a call on almost every play, but they just don’t have that big of an impact. Football officials have a far bigger impact specifically because they don’t make calls on every play but when they do, it’s often after the fact, taking points off the board.
