When I read on this board that officials like Hess can do this "because they can", really turns my stomach and think that it's that type of attitude that continues to widen the divide between officials and coaches/fans.
Note to those that may try and paint me as a traitor or someone that has no clue: I do not condone profanity or vulgar assaults or anything else that would deemed a personal attack against any official.

The comment came from me about "Because he can." I said that because any of us can eject a fan when we feel necessary and just like anything in life people will have something to say about it. Not all of us have the same background or deem the same things as offensive, vulgar or even profane. And someone at his level officiating I am sure is not making a decision without a lot of things in mind that neither you or I would ever know was going through their mind. Hess has been on TV and has been under much more scrutiny than any of us have ever had to deal with. Heck most of us officiate games and never hear a thing about a call we make other than from the coach that did not like the call at the time. How many of us have to hear from our supervisors a day after the game or ask us to file a report after ever game? Probably not many of us have had to do that in our careers at all.
