I see no connection whatsoever with the conduct of referees during a HS event. It would be nice if you would stop implying that HS referees are somehow at fault for the deaths of young children such as this one.

NevadaRef:

Until now, I didn't pay attention to your nonsense about this article not being germane to H.S. sports. BUT, now I take exception because I NEVER said anything to imply that H.S. referees were at fault in the incident in the news article. As so many people have already stated, I was bringing attention to the fact that we as officials should always be aware of hazardous conditions when we take the field or court in the sports that we officiate.

I am calling your out right now. You owe me an apology for saying something that I did not. If you have any integrity as a sports official you will do the correct thing and issue an apology to me in this thread.
