This guy ruined a kids’ basketball game by calling out every single foul

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

A pickup game in the park when you’re a kid is strictly a “ref by committee” situation, if you have one at all. Calls are made solely on peer pressure. That’s what makes it so funny when this guy rolled up on a game and immediately played the role of ref.

It’s both so cruel and so entertaining at the same time. Being an on-court travel truther to kids is a formative experience that will make them better ballers, while also ruining the tail end of their summer.

Sorry kid. You’ve got to learn this stuff now.
