Ohio team schedules 2 quick games to get ejected player back for state

[robbie]

If the ump really said this:

"I'm not some schlepp pushing a broom all day and then coming to a game not knowing what I'm doing. I do have credentials to be out there."

Then he truly is a schlepp - (to be kind.)

I think that's easy to say when we're on the outside looking in. In the heat of the moment he defended himself to the press. Most men would attempt to stand up for themselves. He was accused (in the press) of going on a power trip, which is incredibly demeaning. The coach, the player, the team, the school, the conference, and the OHSAA all owe this official an apology and should be ashamed of themselves.

Horrible example - the state should be ashamed of themselves ... and we wonder why these kids act like they do ...

Thanks

So in the interest of defending himself he can make an ignorant and degrading comment amout janitors or whatever hard working individual he was insulting????????????

First of all I agree with all the comments above. I'm really speechless in regards to the comments by the umpire and coach. I would hope that the umpire truly didn't say those things and the newspaper took liberties they shouldn't have (has happened to myself and others unfortunately in this area).

In your individual states, are teams allowed to play contests after the tournaments have started? It's my understanding (and I could be wrong) that in Iowa the last eligible playing date is before the tournament starts so this would not be an issue (unless they play two quick dates before the tourney starts assuming the last game of the season a player would get ejected).

I don't believe for a second that his comments were degrading to any janitors. This new wave PC bull$it sickens me.

I agree. While poorly worded, it seems his comments were more in line with clarifying that this isn't his first rodeo. It is, however, a good example of why we shouldn't comment to the media in the heat of accusations.

I believe that had he mentioned this wasn't his first rodeo there would have been a large outcry from rookie cowboys proclaiming how offensive his comments were.......

And the veteran cowboys would have told the rookies to shut up and appreciate the extra publicity.

What he should have said was, "This isn't my first time pushing a broom after the rodeo has left town."

As one of those "schlepps pushing a broom", yeah he was being insulting.

I'm smart enough to get the work that allows me to umpire.

Rita, Rita, Rita. He didn't say people who push a broom are schlepps. He said he isn't some schlepp that happens to push a broom. He could have said he wasn't some schlepp working in a lab, but he said pushing a broom, which if we are all being honest here, doesn't take much brain power. Toughen up that skin a little.

Bill, Bill, Bill, Janitorial work is more than people think it is.

We should never demean anyone doing an honest day's work.

When's the last time you paid attention to the person doing the janitorial work, even to say thank you?

That would give you some idea of where you place them.
