    That’s kind of what confuses me. Don’t referees normally only talk with the players to ensure a fair game? I’ve never heard of them talking with the audience, but I also don’t really watch sports.

      Referees are often yelled at or booed when they make a call the fans don’t agree with. An especially common remark is that the ref must be blind to have missed calling a penalty.
