I agree that, from this one article, there doesn't really seem to be a racial element as the official claims. (That doesn't mean there isn't one; it just means it wasn't brought out in the article.) And I agree that the game is about the kids.

However, the assignment is very much about the officials. Being assigned to the post-season is very much a badge of honor to an official, and the further you go into the post-season, the bigger the badge is. If you're assigned to a game, and then removed for no good reason, that's wrong.

I can't say if the official's "altercation" was a good reason or not. But I can say that I would be very very upset to be removed from my next game on Tuesday night. I don't know if I would go to court over it, but it would definitely not be about the kids. That's about me and what I earned (hopefully) on merit this season.
