OK, I stopped reading in the middle and skipped to the end, so I probably missed this in here somewhere - isn't assaulting a sports official a felony in your state Chi??? I know here in Washington State it is considered a Class C Felony, so all this talk about a misdemeanor and a small fine wouldn't happen here - it counts big time. Probably no jail time, but a felony record and all that brings with it...

rockyroad, be thankful that your State Legislature passed a "Referee Assault" bill. According to NASO I think only 16 or so States have done so. Our state has not. So a "single punch" assault will result in very little criminal consequence. However I know an Lawyer in our office complex. According to him he would readily take the cas as described on a contingency basis as he said in our State this would be an easy "pay day"

A little research on the internet tells me that no, Colorado does not have any particular laws governing attacks on sports officials. I'm not confident, however, as the website I found doesn't mention Washington State as having felony laws for such offenses.

Hey - based on their pricing, that could save him a couple of million bucks!

Chi doesn't need a lawer, he just needs to stay at a Holiday Inn Select!

Ok, seriously...what does Chi have to lose by contacting an atty....NOTHING...especially if you get one willing to do it on contingency. To me, it's not about the money, although you could stand to make a little coin off it. It's just the principle of the matter...You don't hit sports officials....Maybe it makes headlines and stops only ONE person from doing this....then it's worthy of Chi pressing the issue regardless of the outcome...

And maybe Junior Athletics of the Midwest (JAM) will do a better job of managing their venues.

You always embellish, It wouldn't be a penny over 10,000.
