Let's not forget the umpires.

Many things will be changing after COVID19. But as we return to the fields, will we still have umpires to officiate games?

One of the main concerns is the changing of the game. Many sports will have to undergo changes post-COVID19. And this doesn't sit well with some of the older officials.

"They're going to change the game. It's not going to be the same. And I don't think I'll enjoy it like I used to. I always told myself, when I'm not having fun anymore, that's when it's time to quit." said one official in Florida (we'll call him "BLUE") who spoke so long as we kept his identity anonymous.

"Plus I'm getting older now. I just can't keep up with the new personalities coming out to the ballpark nowadays." continued the anonymous "BLUE".

That is the other issue with officials. They're getting older and new younger umpires are not as common as before.

A study done by the NASO (National Association of Sports Officials) shows that the average age of officials in 1976 was just 20 years old. In 2016, the average age jumped up to 42.

There are currently more sports officials in their 60s than in their 30s.

But what is it?

Why are new, younger officials not staying?

Over 80% of officials quit before their third year in the career according to the NFSHSA.

Is it the pay?

Is it the athletes?

Is it the fans?

What is causing this issue in the sports officiating world?
