The reason I never criticize refs

is I have done a little at a low level in several sports. Even youth matches it is so difficult to see everything and get things right. I can't even hope to imagine at a professional level the difficulty with the speed and the flopping. Think folks might have a different perspective if they had to actually blow a whistle a few times.
