I don't buy it. You can kick someone out of a park for not following the rules of the park. The refs just need to be empowered.
You don't want to be the reason your kids team lost. You don't want your kid getting kicked of their team for your behavior.
Keep in mind these refs are often volunteers, working solo, have no official connection to the teams or field owners.
And there is a ref shortage virtually everywhere, at all levels and sports. Making it more difficult just isn't realistic.
