Law and Order

Sometimes the black and whites get a bad rap.  Their work brings them a lot of stress, a lot of being yelled at, and not a lot of glory, not a lot of reward, and certainly not a lot of thanks.  No we're not talking about the police, we're talking about the referees and officials that take on the difficult task of keeping our athletic events fair and even.  (Well, let's just say fair.  Is any team ever really in for an "even" competition with our Cowboys?)  Despite the rumors, they don't take their orders from the dark one, so don't be afraid to approach them to say "Thank You" every once in a while.
