Kentucky fans are so fricking unhinged that they're actively leaving bad reviews for John Higgins' (referee in the Elite 8 game) roofing business on Facebook.

Guy makes a mistake while officiating a basketball game? Let's ruin his business with bad reviews and confirm to the world that we have the worst fans in sports.

Brittany from Houston writes

quote:

If you are unfair in a simple game of basketball then why in the world would I ever trust someone like you to work on my home? If your roofing skills are as terrible as an you are an official you need to retire. Did you look back at the tape and feel ashamed of yourself? Can you even look at the tape and feel ok? You clearly are having trouble juggling both of your jobs, untrustworthy.


Mike adds

quote:

Why call this guy to come do your roof? He will just miss all the holes you have up there, while taking money from the neighbors. Jon I recommend you step down from refering and be a full time roofer.


Aaron in Lexington also weighs in

quote:

Based on his attention to detail in a basketball game would you trust this guy with his ability to put attention to detail in your home? Possibly, as long as your home is not in Kentucky.


RuthieAndBrian Baker from Dean Kentucky add

quote:

I'm going to give you 5 stars for being the worst ref in history! That's really bad when you have to help a team win shameful just Shameful! You should never be aloud to ref another game again you sir are a disgrace to the game of Basketball!


Impartial Charles

quote:

Very DISHONEST!!!!! If he can't treat people right on the basketball court what makes me think I want his business he might do the same to me in the professional world! BIG NOTE HERE FOR ALL YOU IDIOTS THAT WANT TO SAY I AM A UK FAN DOING THIS, I AM NEITHER!!! I AM FOR FAIR PLAY FOR BOTH SIDES!


Angela from Ohio just couldn't help herself either

quote:

You are one of the most unprofessional referees ever. Why do you even bother pretending to call a fair game? You are a cheat and a disrespect to the sport of basketball. I would never ever use your company!!!


And Tori, finishes us off with

quote:

Absolute disgrace. Do your job right or don't do it at all

Kentucky's over 50 fans are the worst. The younger ones I've encountered weren't bad.

For sure in this day and age. Just look at what happens to any business now days that comes out in support of either political party. They get ravaged online by the other party. It's not surprising that those tactics would start to roll over into other online factions.

I'm surprised a Big 12 fan hasn't burned his business to the ground. He's one of those "look at me, I'm a star" refs. Couldn't care less if that translates into negative publicity for him.

A big problem with things like this is that it discourages people who would be good refs from volunteering (basically what they're doing at the college level), so the officiating isn't going to improve.

Hilarious that KY gets outside of the SEC where they are protected on a nightly basis by refs and they can't take it.

Typically, these sites will clean up those kind of reviews whenever the person comes up in a high profile situation.

I know Yelp does at least.

Kentucky game threads on this board were hilarious. They spend more time bitching about the refs than anything actually taking place in the game. It's wild.
