Just late last summer, in our O35 league two guys attacked a ref. Their team has to pay a discipline bond, and I want to say the idiots were suspended for 2 years (vs permanently) (MillerTime?) CUSA has huge attrition in referees, and they're working on empowering them further and focusing on zero tolerance.
Brutal, fat old guys fighting a Ref, I hope Ref exploded both criminal charges & Civil Action .

The flip side, is that Officials should be open to polite constructive feedback, most are not.

The pendulum has swung to far
