Actually, I have been completely villified. The press has fried me, and completely lied in doing so. I'm awaiting a call from my top umpire guy (i"ve been working another tourney)... if he follows suit with everyone else (including every umpire I have talked too), I or my partner should have found a way not to make the call. According to the press I bumped chests with the coach then walked off the field laughing leaving the girls sprawled on the field crying.
I am livid that that was printed. Al queda not in the news so I get vilified like that? There was nothing funning about that situation. I did not so much as crack a smile, in fact, there was nothing to smile about. Me and the coach never touched chest. He didnt bump me, I didnt bump him. They might be getting me back for refusing to talk to them.
You guys may think I made the right call. I actually believe I made the ONLY call I could have made... but thats about it on the home front here. Other than that, I might as well have shot kennedy.
