Well, I then went back today and wrote more. Worse, I even checked a few minutes ago. MY fever doesn't need cowbell; it needs for me to punch that guy in the neck, THAT'S what it needs.
Look, I have no problem with 'one-eyed' fans, and I know I've disagreed with officials calls, even after I started umpiring. (You probably don't want to be around me at a VT football game, at least not if there's an ACC crew working. Yeah, I know - that's all the time. Ironic, ain't it? And I might be worse at a Caps game, especially if they're playing the Flyers or Pens.) But at the same time, I've never - and I mean NEVER - wanted a guy to get drilled.
That's the part that Mr Jock-sniff didn't get, or didn't want to acknowledge. From the descriptions, it seemed like most of the EJs were righteous, but that wasn't the first problem Steve or myself - or I'm sure anyone here - had with it. It's the wanting someone to get hurt.
Simple math: Braves fans == righteous indignation. Everyone else == (who gives a sh!t || good calls). And I'm pretty sure I could prove a theorem that said Joel Barker == whiny douchebag.
(sorry about that math/coding stuff there. kind of a habit.)
