Given this fact, it's always a mystery to me why people get upset about youth league officiating. Realize it's, largely, a problem from the jump.
Makes more sense to get upset with the source, the league itself.

Reminds me of our Intramural Championship softball game. We hadn't lost all year, but 2 of our guys couldn't make it to this game so we were down by 1 in the last inning. With 2 outs one of our guys beat out a throw big time but was called for the final out. He went absolutely crazy and just ran at the ump yelling the entire time. He got into his face and more or less disagreed with the call.
The ump not knowing what to do just yelled back "I'M NOT PAID ENOUGH TO MAKE THAT CALL!"
Our entire team bust up laughing and that was the end of it.
