Debate: What's The Hardest Sport To Ref?


 Boys and girls, let’s have a little fun today. It’s a beautiful Friday here in Chicago the sun is out, it’s a perfect 80 degrees, and I can already see people lining up outside the bars. It’s one of those glorious days that just feels right. So, why not kick off some classic bar talk right here on the blog?


Let’s have a debate: What’s the hardest sport to referee?


We’ll start with the NBA, because honestly, being an NBA referee might be the worst job in all of sports. These refs are constantly involved in the action. Every call or non-call feels like the wrong decision to someone. You blow the whistle,

someone’s mad. You let it go, someone’s even more mad. There’s no winning. And the players suck. Sure, refs in every sport get chirped, but no one complains to the officials more than NBA players. Outside of soccer, these guys are the most dramatic athletes on the planet, always flopping, always crying, constantly lobbying for calls like it's part of the game. Add to that the physical grind of sprinting up and down the court all game long? Absolute nightmare.
