You obviously don't understand the concept of morality. By definition, it involves the concepts of right and wrong, which is all you have talked about in this thread.

On the contrary, sir. I understand it quite well, but this has to do with being factual, not moral.

No wonder people think we don't have a clue.

Some guy starts a thread about humorous comments from kids and we end up with a teenaged argument on blue and purple.

I'm right.... No, I'm right.... You might be right, but......

Sheesh

Not according to this:

I'm merely walking that talk.
That's when you made it about morals. Notice you didn't say "I'm doing what's correct" (vs. what is incorrect). You said "I'm doing what's right" (vs. what is wrong, ie calling out blue or red)

That's okay. You keep playing your semantics games. We all know what you mean.

Wow, and they say that I'm splitting hairs.

Right, correct, tomato, tomahto. You, sir, made it about morals.

And asdf, YOU are right. This is too much. I'm done with it.

Actually, I said a long time ago in this thread that I see no right or wrong about it. It's actually not that big of a deal. I take no issue with any official doing it either way. If you want to say purple, I say go for it. If Snaqs wants to say blue, I say more power to him.

What I do take issue with is morally superior officials (like you) who want to make a point of telling other officials who choose to do something like this a certain way that they're doing something wrong.

Question Huh?
Last night, GV game, fourth quarter, I'm L administering free throws. Girl in the closest lane space to me, a starter, looks at me and asks, "Rim?"

Now, this is our third week of the season and the fourth quarter of the game, and definitely not the first foul shots of the night. It took me a second or two to think to myself, "Really?"

Me, "Yes."

Too much AAU ball for her I guess.
