Violence against sports officials has been an alarming trend on the rise for some time – especially in youth sports – causing an official’s shortage. There are countless examples documenting violence towards officials all over the country from youth sports parents and coaches. Some lawmakers have launched campaigns and passed laws to combat this issue, but more must be done. “Is this really what you want to be modeling for your kids?” Read more on the violence against sports officials epidemic in youth sports from @espn: espn.com/high-school/story/_…
