When you get followed to your car by an angry parents multiple times a summer, you re-evaluate whether this particular side job is worth it. It is no longer the players being held accountable, it's everyone else's fault. Including the umpire that made the call you disagree with from 220' away.
Just listen to the stupidity that the mic picks up, even on the college level.
There's a line, and the umpires are telling us that we've crossed the line, and they're doing other things for a side hustle.
If you want to know what happened to the quality of umpiring, look in the mirror.
