This story had legs more because the media likes to constantly rip on officials and highlight when they get in trouble. Just like when the situation with Joey Crawford took place. There is this position the media takes that officials do are not held to the same level of accountability as everyone else. This of course is not at all true, but that is the impression. It is funny how people that are so informed about things in sports never have a clue about any level of officiating. I have not even heard much about this part of the story that Bradley was the one that confronted Winters that started this whole thing. It is just a sexy story to blame the ump as usual. Peace

Of course officials are supposed to be held to higher standards and accountabilty than the participants. Why shouldn't they be? You just can't go around calling people a f-ing piece of sh!t, and that is all there is to it. That is the bottom line.

I never said that profanity was bad to use. I said that personal comments calling someone a profane name are not to be used. Have you even bothered to read any of my other posts? I said that Winters could have said "shut the f*** up" and he would have been alright. Yeah, I've occasionally used profanity, but in 21 years of umpiring never once called anyone a f****** piece of sh!t, either. One time I said to an arguing HS coach, "Dave, that's bullsh!t and you know it." I got reprimanded by my association for using profanity. This was way back in 1988. In adult leagues, where cussing is acceptable, you still don't call people nasty names.

The WUA is not challenging the suspension and the incident is costing Winters not only the five games but also an LCS this season:

I don't know about anyone else's association, but if I called a player what Winters called Bradley, I'm sure I would have been not just suspended, but kicked out of my association. Winters got off easy.
Look, I probably know Winters as well or better than anyone on this forum. Like I have said before, I like the guy. He was just wrong in this case. Should he be fired? Of course not, but some punishment was needed. Rutledge, just for the record, I would feel the same way if it had happened to your favorite team or player too. It just happened to involve the team I root for. No homer here. I blame Bud Black for injuring Bradley, and I blame Bradley for being a hothead to start with. But the suspension of Winters was warranted.

Using a bad word is different from calling someone a F.P.O.S. I was suspended for what I said I was suspended for (the fan incident). I then posted that if I had said what Winters said, I likely would have been kicked out of my (and Winters') association. I know how my association works, and you had better be on your best behavior on a ball field. I also said I was reprimanded for once saying the word "bullsh!t" in a conversational manner during an argument. Very strict. Quote:

I didn't say we were friends. I know him. He knows me. We don't hang out. Got it? Sure his story might be different, but MLB decided his story didn't jibe with what really happened, didn't it? I guess they know what's up. I'm not "going off" about anything. Now you also are being obtuse (must be contagious). I never said I had any inside information. I have the same information as anyone else does, and that is that Winters said what has been reported.
