Antonio Mateu Lahoz's finale shows how the world should treat referees
What a career for the referee. He got the send off he deserved. Really the polar opposite of Anthony Taylor's recent experiences, unfortunately...
Just a heartwarming video that gave me good vibes today.
There’s tons of negative referee treatment energy going on after the Anthony Taylor’s Europa League Final and subsequent travel through the airport.
The behavior in the video linked above is abhorrent. But it is a reality of how the world we live in can treat us.
After this disgusting video was making the rounds, another was as well…
Jake Humphrey: “How would you like us to view referees?”
Anthony Taylor: “More understanding and more empathy. Yes, mistakes are made and we’re far from perfect. But there’s many other facets that contribute to a result in the football match. And so before you start trying to blame one individual, maybe try to consider all the things that go into what’s been decided.”
Today though, let’s focus on how referees should and can be treated. With respect.
