My comment was directed at the notion that the article you dislike so much is "typical" of all press reports.
I suppose if fans see an official kick a call, and then believe it's "typical", then that's okay too, then.
We, as officials, are very quick to denounce the ignorance of coaches and fans for not respecting us, and the tendency to generalize one incident to all of us.
Hypocritical doesn't even begin to describe it.
