We need the officials, we don't need the fans - I think those are excellent points made by SEngman - we could empty the gym and play, but I still wonder at a potential double standard - allowing an official to remain after doing something that might cause a player or coahc to be ejected.

One other point to consider with respect to this ugly situation. An official who has lost self control and sworn at the crowd - are we certain that this official can continue to do his job in a fair and unbiased manner? We are retaining the officials because they are the sole neutral authority here - but are they once this has occurred?
