I just saw an ad on TV during a football game, where the ref makes his call, and reports in the standard manner. Then there's this little pause, and he adds, "I know we could have called a hold on every play so far in this game, but we waited until this crucial juncture late in the game." Then he bends over and picks up his flag, and adds, "Just to tick off the crowd." Or words to that effect. I roared with laughter. My husband is offended. What do y'all think?

...Must have been written by a color announcer.
It connotes abuse of power to control games, to pick winners, to have favorites, to incite fans.
I think a brief, private chuckle, at most, is the acceptable response.
