What did he say on the social media page or pages?

Not sure. I might look it up later, but I guess the moral of the story is to watch what you post.

Here's the twitter feed. To say he doesn't have a filter is a huge understatement.

Wow!!! Like an idiot I clicked the twitter link. Some thoughts should be better off inside of your head than verbalized. Don’t waste your time clicking on the link. For most it’s pretty offensive.

Sorry about that, I'm shocked that he's shocked he was suspended.

No need for you to apologize. Those aren’t your words on his Twitter.
He’s delusional to think he wouldn’t be suspended for that. I clicked a link for his blog and it’s worse than his twitter.

After reading some of his comments, I suspect he might not have all the support from coaches and others as he states. In my 30 plus years as a official, I see a guy that likes and wants to be noticed both on and off the field. Called with guys like this on Friday nights, their the kind that will get a crew in trouble.

I have read his blog and his twitter posts, while Pat Houseworth and I are on the opposite ends of the political spectrum, and in fact, he comes off as a very very bigoted person, if there had been problems with his political views affecting his officiating/umpiring it would have surfaced long before this.

I do not know Pat; he lives right on the border of the OhioHSAA's Northwest District and Southwest District and I cannot tell you exactly in which district he resides because the OhioHSAA removed his contact information from its Officials Directory. That is all that I know about him.
