That is actually a terrible comparison. Howard often does not face the media and part of their job has always been to talk to the media. Last time I checked, that was not the job of the umpires or any official and actually they cannot go around talking to the media freely. I have never seen an umpire after a game talk openly to the media about what was said in many situations and state what they think of the participants they dealt with. And for years it was forbidden totally to even comment to the media even when they were right. I think I can give a pass to a situation that is canned and superficial at best.
