How about this:

When a player fucks up, he gets benched or cut, and his team suffers the consequences. Everybody knows it, his family can be subjected to abuse and potentially violence by whatever lunatice fringe nutjob is out there. HE DOES NOT GET A DO-OVER!

But we give refs a do-over. Then even when they still fuck it up, they go on mostly anonymously- no fines or suspensions that we are ever made aware of.

If a ref fails a drug test, do we find out about it? or a DUI? or domestic abuse?

Do you know this man?

The point is that refs SHOULD be anonymous (generally speaking) in the context of the game.

In MLB, would you know who Jim Joyce is if replay were available to fix the mistake in Gallaraga's perfect game?
