I understand what Mr. Montgomery is going through. Now, if he was the one who made a statement that he had two other officials removed due to their connection to another school, that is not right. He should not be allowed to make such decisions.
This may have sprung the entire altercation from the other official. Now, the other official should not have called him a "BOY." But he did, Mr. Montgomery state he tried to walk away but his manhood was threatened. My manhood only gets threatened when someone physically assaults me. Name calling is a psychological thing that can turn around if you use a little thinking.
However, I am white and cannot understand what being called "boy" feels like. However, I have been called a "cracker" but I laughed and went on. I am sure Mr. Montgomery felt threatened but as an official, you must be more professional, get the game in and fight your battle with the KHSAA.
It's sad this we have to deal with this in todays world, but things as racism will never go away. How can it, we have the black coaches association, mrs. black american pageant, and other countless organizations and if it were white groups, the white group would be called racist or discriminating. I think all groups should be united, that is who we are, Americans.
I hate that the black card is being played, but let me tell you, if this official called Mr. Montgomery a "boy," he should be punished. We have no place for this, I feel like all officials belong to the best fraternity in the world. It is black and white, that is the color of our shirts, but we have the same love for the game. I just hope this gets resolved.
Oh yea, levis at a game, it should not happen. KY, was a border state during our Civil War of 1861-1865.
Good luck
