Probably yes. And there was a time I refereed kids hockey, and I quit because of the parents. 'Strange' is a little too light.
I know lots of guys who volunteer like you. They all say the same thing. Soccer isn't much better. . . . Why hob-nob with the servants. eh?
It was actually the threat of violence against me, and parents getting violent towards other kids that made me quit. Which is why I immediately thought this is how this lady was injured so badly - in a hockey related argument. (Sorry mom and dad, little Johnny probably doesn't have a chance in the NHL. Especially with parents like you! see: Walter Gretzky)
Strangely, refereeing motor sports doesn't come with the same level of angry parents that Hockey does.
