You watched the video and made this statement:

"Tough call to make. The replay does show the defender moving upon impact. The official made a god call afaict."

That's what's your were questioned about. Nobody asked you explain what the official the video was thinking.

Personal? What was personal about what I said?

What you're doing is defending the indefensible.

With critics like you around that might not be possible.

MTD, Sr.
That's fine Mark and I appreciate your advice.

Explain what the intent of posting this was:

"You might as well claim he might have seen the defender punch him in the nose, pull his shorts down, and spit in his face."

And I addressed that, but it's not my problem that it might not satisfy you. FWIW, I never stated what that official WAS thinking, there's no way anyone but him could say what that was. I only stated what he MIGHT have been thinking. And that was in response to a members question.
Now, I'll let you be last word lucy.

I'm glad I'll never have to read one of your indecisive, pass-the-buck, game reports.

Imagine the criticism you'd receive if you actually made this horrible call rather than just tried to find some justification for it.

Not personal, just pointing out the absurdity of the position you're taking.

And if you think that is personal, wow. You must have a tough time being an official.

Camron didn't say anything personally attacking you. He just used a reductio ad absurdum argument against you. A fallacious argument maybe, but not personal.

I'm glad I'm in an ethics class, so I halfway understand this.

Look at Mr. College making his smarty-pants observation.
