Did the parents in the Fla. scenario just blame the official (big deal ... happens, usually baselessly, dozens of times a game) or did they actually sue/win in the Fla. scenario?

Sorry, KansasRef, not trying to shoot the messenger. Just intrigued, that's all.

And, was there a pattern of similar plays being ignored prior to the play in question where the injury occurred? That is where the liability could come from.
