Yes, but the reason it would never happen was characterized as a lack of stones on the part of the umpires to do their job. I maintain that it is NOT their job to declare game forfeits except possibly in very rare circumstances, which would probably already have staduim security on the field.
PS: I haven't seen the linked video (can't at the moment), so I am not commenting specifically about that, but unless the rant involved more than an insane manager, there is nothing for the umpire to do but take notes for his report.
