Sympathy for the...Whistleman?


Rättskiparen | The Referee [2010] from Freedom From Choice AB on Vimeo.


I've always thought that it takes an odd sort to want to be a top level whistleman. Maybe more odd than I thought.

  2. That's an awesome vid. Thanks for posting it.

    I agree with your assessment, though I can't be sure our reasons are necessarily the same. Certainly placing football officiating ahead of one's family--so explicitly, though that may be some artifact of translation--is odd, at least to me. Maybe that's why I'm not world-class at anything...

    Thanks!

  3. You're quite welcome.

    I'd toss the threats to self and family and the public/media abuse onto the pile of oddities as well.
