Pitch
My
VT will be on the sports section, but the story will be based on the aspect of
Sunday league referee’s receiving foul and abusive remarks during the games
from both players and fans. This has been going on in Sunday leagues a lot over
the past years, but recently been getting worse every year, there is becoming a
shortage in referee’s and less younger generations getting into refereeing
purely on this matter.
The
past couple of years, referee’s have been receiving abuse from players and fans
for believing the referee had made the wrong decisions, but in more recent
times, this matter is getting out of hand with one referee complaining to the
FA officials to help put a stop to it all, http://www.sundaymercury.net/news/midlands-news/2012/02/19/midlands-ref-calls-for-an-end-to-sunday-league-abuse-66331-30362434/[1] In
some cases family, race, sexuality and physical appearance get used against
referees when things don’t go the player’s way. The aim of my VT is to help
bring this sort of behavior to a stop and to help get the topic more limelight
to fully put a stop to it.
I
intend to get an interview with a Sunday league referee who currently referees
some Manchester and Cheshire League games, I’ll try find out how they feel
about this, if they think there is any way of cutting it out, how often they
referee, is it a job or a hobby and how their sanctions are enforced if a
player does abuse referees.
The
Officials have tried to cut out the abuse but merely haven’t tried hard enough
when an incident caused 15 referees to go on strike as three players who were
suppose to be banned from playing was allowed back but on a final warning, http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/sport/football/s/1461932_oldham-sunday-league-referees-go-on-strike-after-banned-players-are-reinstated
