O dear....

The Referee Store
Yes it is one of standard training drills used. It has a number of benefits biggest ones being improvements in focus, awareness, wide vision, reaction time. I can see why a non referee finds it amusing.
 
to add, in the days I pretended to care about a warm up as AR, after the team warm up, I would spend ten mins at my line, playing offsides in my head, looking across the park, using the players warming up as imaginary real time players, granted I never gave my arm signals but I rehearsed my movements

The warm up is tp get you in tune for the task ahead, in whatever form that may take
 
Yeah, the only issue here is the "flag" signals - the idea of shadowing each other up and down the line is a perfectly reasonable way to warm up movement and changing direction and to get you mentally switched on to do that during a game.
 
For some reason that got me thinking back to this ....

And this gets me thinking to a kid in a candy shop who knows what tastes like but rarely eaten them. Ooh, ooh, ooh, I've seen one. What do I do? What do I do?
