Sadness…

I’m thinking a lot on this. Being an umpire. We never were the ones being appreciated. No one will say that you did a good job, give you a pat on the shoulder when you do well, except give you the face, shouting, unwilling ‘thank you umpire’ thing the teams do, and even comment on you just in front when you don’t perform. Hello!!! We are all humans. Mistakes and bad performances are unavoidable. Do you think that I want to umpire badly? Do you think that I don’t want to be good? Do you think that I wouldn’t want a perfect game every time? And why the players can say this and that about umpires and umpire can’t say things about the players??? And don’t you sometimes feel that your coach is not helping with the things he or she says??? It’s same being an umpire. And why do you think not many people want to be an umpire? It’s so much harder being compared to being a good player. Ask yourself, would you be an umpire?
