Where Professionalism Ends.....????

[SMEngmann]

I would agree that it was unprofessional to push back and the official should face a possible suspension. However, in that type of a situation, turning and walking away is just inviting a sucker punch. This is how assaults become serious issues. Hard to say without being there what the rationale was for pushing back, or if it was self defense, so I say the official should be at least entitled to a hearing before any suspension is given.
