Running for the door

[JRutledge]

You did miss something drinkeii. Soccer and Football are both outdoor sports. Usually the fans are very far away, and if fans are upset with you, they have a ways to go to even get near you in a close game situation. In a Basketball game, the might have to go 20 feet or less you say their piece about your calls.

I know an official that made the right call on a three point shoot attempt that was a two point shot (last second shot foot was on the line) and he could not get to the locker room because angry fans were in his way. Police and other security had to step in and free him from the situation. So you sticking around does nothing but cause problems. People are rushing the court and coming from all sides, you do not want to get caught up in any of that. It is that simple.
