Isn't Hess an example of the price officials pay (right or wrong) for even addressing fans... even if we know and/or recognize the fan?
Whats the worse thing you've said to a fan?
Hess' comments just happened to be directed toward an unfortunate millionaire... rooting for his alma mater.
Guess if I were rich and going to whine about what a referee said, I would have at least listed my comments that precipitated Hess' foolish remark. Doesn't a guy like this deserve a second and (maybe) third chance.
Can you image that tweet: Hess called my ___ white #wow!
