I'm starting to believe a lot of officials are beginning to be intimidated by the players and their "roles" as entertainers. Situations like this should be a wake-up call for all involved. These are non-professional events, and there's a privilege to being a participant in them.
And for Mr. Hohn, what exactly makes one a "gangsta"? If you can't explain it, don't call it.

I agree on the FF1 on the shorts grab...I wouldn't T the "playing to the crowd." There were plenty of opportunities to stick a player or two for other situations, but I don't think that was one.
