When I try to argue that, I am given an absolute - game admin can't do it, because the rules don't say that they can. That's why I give an extreme example that everyone can agree with.

We can eject coaches for things that has nothing to do with profanity. You cannot T us up for our behavior. My point is where do you draw the line. Because if no profanity was used, then what? Of course if an official gets into a physical fight that is another issue. But I have never seen that happen and probably never will.

If everyone agrees in my case that game admin coulod have reason to end a game, then we are now only talking about degrees of severity here. What referee action is bad enough that game admin can take this action? It doesn't sound to me like this is the extreme case that would justify ejecting a ref, given the sketchiy info we have. But we honestly don't know what is alleged. So making absolute statements either way is unwarranted.

Using profanity and pulling out an gun are totally different from each other. For one, pulling out a gun is going to get you put in jail. You did not just violate the rules, you broke a law. All I am saying is that profanity does not fit that mode. If you want to talk about other situations, maybe. But the administator has no business making calls on if an official stays or leaves. Not just because someone was offended. If you want to equate apples and oranges, go right ahead. Report yes, eject no.
