It is part of the game, from when they were in little league and all the way up. Human error exists in every sport, and everything people do in their lives.

The point is - when you or I fuck up at work, or school we have to suffer the consequences. If a player fucks up, they get benched or cut. If a ref/umpire fucks up the leagues do everything to protect the officials. Look at Stephane Auger, or any number of football referees for example. Auger suffers no consequences for fucking up.
