Show Notes
After decades of advocacy, a former referee, Bob West, finally sees his bill protecting sports officials from threats and attacks pass both House and Senate. The bill, which adds referees to a protected list and imposes penalties for interference, aims to boost sportsmanship and address a growing referee shortage due to rising hostility. West, who suffered severe injuries from a headbutt in 1996, hails the bill as a silver lining despite his lost career.
