Referees — are we all nuts?

[REF WATCH] Look at the facts. We are an endangered species. More than half million of us worldwide; dying out like dinosaurs of a bygone age. Our demise islargely due to our own folly for we suffer the cruelty of human nature from the very people we help add sunshine into dull lives. We put up with insults, abuse, threats and assaults. We are spatupon, ridiculed, shot at, and sometimes murdered.
