Referee magazine asked several professional and amateur officials why they officiate. Ruben Fowler answered:
I love that we are the only participants who are not allowed to fail. What I mean is that we are the upholders of the integrity of the game. There is no swaying what we are attempting to do - to make sure the game is played as fairly as possible. We make mistakes, but we make them with the honest attempt to be right 100-percent of the time; I like being held to that high standard.
Not many people list that as their favorite part of the job!
