Referee support is urgently needed in today’s sports landscape. In this episode, Dan Riley sheds light on the growing crisis officials face across basketball, football, and baseball. Referees endure hostile crowds, unsafe working conditions, and the pressure of interpreting increasingly complex rulebooks—all while receiving little recognition or protection. Dan argues that unless leagues offer real support—such as better health coverage, clearer rules, and reliable replay systems—the future of sports is at serious risk. Without committed referees, the games we love can't function.
