OK, Here's more on this particular game. I didn't report it in the original post cause it has no bearing on the play in question. (Am I hijacking my own thread here?, oh well let's do it).
Later in this particular game the fans did start getting out of hand with insults to each other as well as to the players and I'm sure umpires. The TD stepped in, not sure if he was called to the field or if so by whom, but he talked with both head coaches and told them to get their respective fans under control or he would declare a double forfiet. I suppose he could do that, but I would rather have seen the threat of clearing all fans and finishing the game!
Just glad I wasn't a part of that game. I did call games for both of these teams, and the fans from one of them were very vocal. Glad none of this escalated into violence, it well could have.
