An open letter to the refs of my daughters' game this afternoon

[Extra Point]

Our 3rd grade team dropped every game. The next season, we were undefeated. Won two straight championships. Of course, our boys didn't play in the championship division, but it was a good experience for the kids. That 3rd grade post-season tournament, I got T-ed up, and kicked myself out of the game. Those poor kids.

I hope I set a good example for my kids. The two times I've been T-ed up and took an unportsmanlike conduct has been in the face of absolutely atrocious reffing (today's refs were outstanding), and when I was trying to protect one of my players.

Sometimes you have to take a stand for what's right.
