A Disgusting

  Display of Gamesmanship, Sportsmanship, TschakaShip. Through out my lifetime I have had some very embarrassing moments playing basketball. From the Chair tossing OK throwing  incident, of course the broken Trophy's, Fights, Ejections and taking my ball home, and regular ejections. But Never Ever ( i am allowed to use the word) have I seen a Referee taking so  much abuse from Players and mediocre players non the less to a point where the referee snaps and is justifiable in fighting. From the old Bob Melina handbook "as long as you  don't get personal it's OK " another Words That was the worst F%$#ing call acceptable " F$#uk you Bob that was the worst F%$#ing call" Technical. To witness the level of profanity, abuse, humiliation, degradation, denigration, etc etc hurled at an official, whose no doubt doing his job and doing his best and even if you disagree with him to vociferously attack him with vengeance and hate Shame on you, and shame on us for even allowing something like this to happen. No Human being should have to  endure this kind of abuse. As I watched the Official Drive off, I lamented the fact that he didn't knock out the Belligerents, or maybe one of us should have.
