Why hasn't anyone mentioned how the trail official did NOT do what he got paid for?
The officials left hand went out at the same time the player's mid section moved back. Did the official push the kid away? Is another angle of the video circulating around the internet?

I think the official was trying to get by the player and the player got in his face. Yes, did they make some contact? Yes they did, but I do not think it was caused by the official. It think it was caused by the player. This is why I feel we should T kids for these actions more often instead of just letting it go. Players think they can come in our space all the time and then when something happens we are put in the spotlight when we do something about it. I do not fault the official at all. I fault the kid and most of the time nothing happens. I have run into kids accidentally before and none have acted like that.
