Worse than Church Women

[Big2Cat]

Is it just me, or have you all noticed that basketball officials are worse than church women when it comes to gossiping? As I admitted the other day, I made a HUGE error when it came to enforcing a block/charge the other day. I freely admit my mistake and know I should have gotten it right (and thankfully it didn't impact the game).

I emailed both of my partners, told them how I got it wrong (they had the blarge part) and let's just be better the next day. Anyhow, two days later I am talking to my buddy who then asked me if I was there when the guy messed up at the regional. I said, "It was me! Who did you hear it from?" And I don't care if it is one of my buddies who knew, but it was all guys I never work with and some I don't even know. This business is so filled with cut-throat people who love to see others fail or act like they have never made mistakes. Anyhow, that is my Vent.

Is it the same in other areas? I know I see a lot of attacks and stuff on the boards as well, but at least you are talking to one another and not gossiping behind backs like wildfire.
