Don't be an idiot and assault referees at sporting events. There's no place for that

There's a lot of good that the world of sports offers, but there's still ways we can do better. Dominique Yates, Louisville Courier Journal

There’s nothing better than sports.

Going to a game and being a part of a fun atmosphere. The excitement of watching your favorite team or maybe a family member win. As a sports reporter, there’s an adrenaline rush that comes with being in this business.

However, there are disturbing times in today’s world of sports.

To hear that we are at a time where, like in Paducah, a long-time and highly respected referee was allegedly assaulted by a coach over the weekend is frustrating and unnecessary.
