I to have sat in the stands at games and watched good officiating be taken horribly by fans. I think some people just feel like they have a right to yell and scream since they paid there whole $5 to get in.
What is really difficult to do is hold yourself back from commenting after some fan makes a stupid remark (yes, it is possible!). If I know the person pretty well I will try to explain the call,a little bit. The one I have to constantly teach fans in is the Over and Back (3 pts=?). It is very odd how reasonable people can turn into attack dogs whenever there team is on the line, just goes to show how important competition is to some people. Well I hope that these posts prompt some good disussion, hopefully with some more insite on how to help solve some of these problems.
