Skype You!
Tonight, B 8th grade, second half. I’m L. Ball goes out near the sideline on my side and almost hits a lady about three rows up in the bleachers and her open laptop that she’s holding backwards (screen pointing away from her) on her lap. She bats the ball away with her arm.
I said, “Ma’am you better be careful or you’ll ruin that laptop.” She looks at me and says, “Skype.” Me - “My husband’s in the military and can’t be here, so I’m sending him the game.” A first for me! Very cool! (and he/they saw a good game).

I don't believe that she would have been able to do that for any of the HS post-season games here. The state office signed a contract giving the broadcast rights to one entity. Perhaps with permission from the holder of the rights.
Not stating my personal feelings on this one way or the other, just passing the message. Although, my heart goes out to the members of our military who miss seeing their kids while serving our country. |

I would love to have about 10 minutes alone with anyone who would tell this woman she couldn't send the broadcast of her son playing in a game to her husband who is stationed overseas. I have a niece whose husband is in the US Army stationed in Iraq. He's also been in Afghanistan, Beirut and Kosovo. They have two kids. When he was in middle school, I reffed some of his games.

but he did find out that the kid's parent is serving our country, protecting your freedoms and getting the opportunity to watch his kid play a game from thousands of miles away while doing so... pretty effing good if you ask me.

I'm glad to see that the "humor" posts were deleted. I don't think any malice was intended but it would be a very sensitive thing to some in dangerous and honorable service. We've taken the high road here, guys by removing those posts. I'm glad to see this.

Bad bad boy. Don't ever talk to a fan. Especially when building good will. You never know how that lady could twist your words to injure your reputation. |

Skype is certainly a great invention. This event at the game will be remembered long after many other 'spectacular' plays have faded from memory.
