Check out the idiotic comments by the police

"Comments are always made between players to players and referees, and at this point in time we don't feel the threat is imminent," says Inspector Henry Paivarinta.

It would either be him gone from the league or me. This also just goes to show you how stupid some people really are.

I would agree words are exchanged between fans, players, coaches and officials. However, never are they death threats and if they are they should be handled to the extent of the law. Hopefully he's got some people behind him on this, I wish him the best.
