This reminds me of one time.....
More and more of my communications begin with this phrase. Many years ago, at some kind of little kids game, (jr. high or lower, not sure) there was a pretty good train wreck out on the court. A foul was called, nobody was hurt, everything was ok........ until a lady stood up and yelled, "Come on, ref, we don't want to come out here and watch our boys get hurt!!"
I was tempted to remark, "Ma'am, the thing to do would be to take your boys home and let them sit on the couch and watch tv. The potential risk would be much less."
