Coach appears to headbutt official

And not once did I say we shouldn't. But there is also a way to do that without alluding to victim blaming. Relax and carry on.

My comments were in response to several posts in this thread not just yours, which I read just fine. Who is the one being defensive here? I'm relaxed and hope you are as well.

And I'm also well aware of the world outside of this place but my only concerned in this forum is discussing the play from an officiating perspective. Again, I would think we could do that without conflating it with victim blaming.

Why does every post on this forum have to turn to fantastical what ifs and what I would do or they should have done. $h!t happens. Coach crossed the line. No excuse. End of story. A T called in a Syracuse game years ago has nothing to do with this.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if you think there is nothing to discuss from an officiating perspective then more power to you. All I will say is that is extrememly short sighted IMO.
