Today, while refereeing a soccer game, I was accused of being racist, blind, and a fascist by spectators. The game was played by a group of third graders. FML

Today, it was my first time as a hockey referee, for a game played by 7-year-olds. At one point, a little boy tripped another boy. Doing my job, I gave him 2 minutes in the penalty box. After the game, I was attacked by a mob of parents. I was even given an optometrist's business card. FML

Today, I was refereeing a kid's soccer game, and noticed that on the field next to me was a referee I hated working with. I told the other referee I was working with that he was the laziest and most dumbass referee I had ever worked with. She then slapped me, and told me that it was her grandpa. FML

Today, I was coaching a little league soccer game. I was telling one of my players to go cover another kid. I said "go cover the little yellow kid!" because he happened to be wearing a yellow shirt. He also happened to be Asian. I then got death stares from his family members. FML

Today, during a soccer game, some utter moron got the bright idea of trying to score a goal from his side of the field. I sarcastically made a big show of just barely stopping the ball, and nailed it off to the side. The ball hit a kid so hard in the head that he had to go to the hospital. FML

Today, I had a soccer game. A player from the other team hit me in the face. In the next half, she was the goalie and I was determined to score on her. When I finally got my chance to, everyone cheered, until I kicked the ball into the goal post and it bounced back and hit me in the face. FML

Today, at a soccer game held by my girlfriend's family, some idiot went to kick the ball, missed by a mile, and hit the ground hard. So I started a slow, sarcastic clap. I got a load of angry looks, followed by verbal abuse when we found out he'd split his head open on the ground. FML

Today, I was refereeing at a kids' soccer tournament and a deer ran across one of the fields. Some of the parents then claimed that a deer on the field meant a free kick. FML

Today, while playing badminton at school, I got an opponent who is mentally handicapped. Since I'm terrible at the game, I guess the teacher assumed it would be a good match. I won the match, my first victory ever. My teacher accused me of cheating to humiliate him. FML

Today, I went to my son's school soccer game. Unfortunately, I couldn't get excited about it because my idiot son kept diving the moment anyone so much as breathed on him. It eventually earned him a penalty shot that won him the game. I was so ashamed, I snuck out to avoid being seen with him. FML

27- Seriously. I mean, people complain about Beavis and Butthead getting cancelled on MTV, but what does that have to do with music?

once upon a time, MTV did indeed play music. in fact, in the beginning, that was all they played. I an old enough to remember this fabled time, and I will tell you firsthand- it was glorious.

That reminds me of my brother's hockey coach. He got so mad that his child team lost that he took it out on the ref and made him cry. The ref was only 13

Because nobody in Europe gets overly excited about soccer. Get off your high horse before you fall.

That's two Americans in two days I've seen who think that Canada is in Europe. Not really doing much to fight stereotypes either, are you?

I am not defending him buy maybe he didnt look at 21s profile and just assumed he was European. God I hope thats the case because if he actually thinks Canada is in Eruope then he probably shouldnt be on a computer.

CrazyGirlfriend 21

I disagree. if he does seriously think Canada is in Europe then he needs his computer to look up a freaking map haha.

at least you weren't the ref at my basketball game in the 5th grade. I went to a Catholic school and my mother had threatened to "beat the living shit" out of the ref..
