2) You're the only one that thinks that it's the official's fault. That's because you don't have a clue what officiating is really about.
3) No, you're supposed to watch the players in your primary. That sureashell IS in the Mechanics Manual, which is another book that you don't happen to own.

Of course this is not about a kid who was beat up so bad in a basketball game that was officiated by certified officials, that an ambulance had to be called to this game. Of course this is not about that! Why don't you review your statistics and tell us how many times kids in an organized event has been beat up so bad that an ambulance had to be called and the kids faced re-attached?
Now I don't think it's the officials fault either, I'm just raising the doubt because of the extenuating circumstances here. I mean if we're going to let kids beat each other up to this extent, we might as well not even be there. That is my point. Why do the game? Since you are not able to stop a kid from getting his face bash in. If we are going to take responsibility and do the game, then we need to bare some responsibility to what happened in the game. You can not get around this, which means it is not about me or my credibility or some character on the McGriff board. Neither of us have all the information we need to judge here, but I think I have more than you to make a reasonable judgment. I have a injured kid who needed hospitalization, fact. You have the referee's word, unproven, and no one else to substantiate. Yet you are dead sure the referee is not at fault. Well, you don't have enough information to be dead sure. It matters not to me that you are all in agreement that this is not the officials fault because these are some of the questions that are going to need to be answered.
I'm not looking to place blame here but I am interested in understanding more about what happened here and challenging your assertion that the referee is not at fault. If he is not at fault, then his statement should stand up to ridicule. So far it has not, and you know how I can tell. Because the conversation has turned personal.
