I am close to losing it at this point, ref says he didn't see it. Again, I tell him what is happening and "would you keep an eye on it?" 2-3 plays later it happens again, no call. The parents are losing it, the kids are a losing it. I bring both refs over again showing them the already bruised face. Their response, "how do I know that isn't a sun burn?"
It was pretty absurd.

Yeah, our championship game was terrible.
One of my teams (out of towners) was undefeated and playing their team who was also undefeated and hasn't lost a game in a couple years. First they pulled a ref from another small town and put in a ref from their town who had a little brother on the team. I knew we were probably ****ed right then.
We had 5 players depantsed in the first half and if those parents hadn't been acting like such assholes I probably would have ended up blowing my top.
