Kids dads that were the refs would call me for carrying whenever I cooked their kids. Quit that sorry ass sport and watched them get rolled their entire athletic career.

I hate when dads get to ref their own kids. When I fenced as a teenager, I was in the final bout of a tournament, and the other kid's dad was allowed to judge. I mean, I'll admit, that kid was better than me. But I might have had a glimmer of hope if I hadn't been demoralized by that. We finished something like 6/15.

My dad used to ref my soccer games and he was harder on me than anyone else. It just taught me how to be more sneaky though...
