Walk or jog away, man. Man up, drop the ego and get yourself immediately out of the situation.
The video will back you up 100. Instead, the video shows the official inviting continued violence.

Actually, I do not give a damn what he did afterward. If you are assaulted people will lose their minds even for a moment. I have no issues with the situation because he did not appear to start it. And I am sorry have you been to basketball games in these environments? You have a lot of big players that in some cases look much older than kids. Also, this official does not look very old either. He might be a young guy where what he does in his 20s, he is not doing in his 50s.
To each his own. If you want to go away and hope no one fights you, be my guest. I am not taking an ass whoopin for anybody.
Honestly, who cares in the end? I am not working these games anymore in these kinds of settings for these kinds of reasons. And this official for all we know is no more than a guy with a striped shirt, what they pay for BTW.
Peace
