Summary
The fellas had Fran Doyle on Chirping Zebras this week — absolute wagon of a guest if you’re into the stripes side of sports. Fran’s a lacrosse ref who’s seen it all: youth parents losing their minds, box lacrosse turning into a warzone, and the politics that come with officiating. They chop it up about how lacrosse culture stacks up against hockey, what refs actually get paid (spoiler: not much), and the insurance/academy grind that’s changing youth sports. Tons of unreal insight but also a ton of laughs, with Fran telling stories about navigating the circus that is being a ref. Beauty episode.
