Connecticut ...

No where near as bad, but a sign of the times hits close to home for me:

The incident involved other spectators disagreeing with calls made by a referee. The spectators were described as acting belligerent toward the ref.

One, a man, even followed a ref across the court, threatened him and tried to assault him.

The part of the case involving the male spectator trying to attack the ref remains under investigation, police said.

I am going to be very blunt. Stop doing men's or adult games. Games that have no sanctioning body and these tournaments that are not affiliated with anything with accountability. Many of these incidents are not taking place in situations where someone can be held accountable by a governing body that can ban them for a very long time. I refuse to work a Men's leagues game at all as a result. The money is not worth it. The more confrontations I hear about are from those kinds of situations.

Peace
