I am tired of the LGBTQIDIOTs. I’m not okay with any referee who thinks his sexual activities are of interest to viewers. A ref’s job is to call violations accurately, not to announce his personal life.
If you ask a hundred hockey fans....99-percent will tell you that they don’t care about any extra info on the referee crowd, other than they are qualified. They don’t care if the guy is married, a Republican, into distilling bourbon, lives in Montana, or has six daughters with ‘Wanda’ as the first name.
I can remember through the early 1970s...most baseball announcers never discussed even the names of umpires other than at the all-star games or World Series.
This idea that more personal info on their habits or lusty affairs will influence me? No. It won’t work.
Exactly! How is telegraphing your sexual orientation connected in any way to being a good referee? Oh, I know: “now they’ll HAVE to hire me to show they’re not racist, sexist, etc.....”.
The added bonus is the lbtqhgfbjithurl community gets a notch on their belts and think total acceptance is right around the corner.
Cuz putting your penis into another man’s rectum is all normal and stuff......
