Are we talking about violence against "all" officials, or just about baseball officials?
OK, I doing a game. It gets a little rambungshis from the fans stand point. I think...am I doing a good job? Maybe I do suck.
OK, then it gets into insults and threats. I try to re-evaluate myself, but it does no good. The fans just won't have it. They keep on me verbally. I can take this.
Now, they start coming after me. Confronting me. Now I think, lets leave the the park and walk away. Give back my $40 and that is that.
OK, let's say I am really bull-headed and won't leave after all the signals of things getting out of hand. I have face mask. I have chest protector. I have cup. I have steel-toed shoes. Who is going to win in a battle against me and a house-wife and husband with shorts and sandals?
Common sense guys. Get out of the situation if it is deemed dangerous. The idiots are the ones getting knocked around. Probably the same ones that would go to a European soccer match!
Now if you are talking guns/knives/etc... like that. Well, that ain't just violence. That is capital A attempted murder.
