Abstract
High stakes in sport result in a mindset of “win at all costs” amongst players and/or coaches. This environment creates a charged atmosphere that has led to concern for the health and well-being of referees. An overview of violence and other transgressions against referees is couched within the conflict perspective of Sport Sociology, which suggests that deviance in sport arises from competition amongst groups and a quest for power. A series of research questions are posed in order to further explore and discuss the psychological effect on referees.
