TXMike: personally, I see the league improving because of this fiasco. People with first-hand knowledge have said that Rion was over his head in the league. If you don't see why the officials should take action because of a league not enforcing it's own policies where harrassment of an official is concerned, then perhaps you should stay to on-field duties. And as for your "never happen", that's what we thought here too. 😉 Nobody ever thinks that their house will be broken in to, that their car will be stolen, etc.... but that's when life hits ya.
I definitely prefer to stay on-the-field and out of the political BS so no problemo there.
And your analogy re the criminal stuff is pretty poor one to use with me as I have had all those things happen to me. For me, the prospect of something like this happening in a big time Texas HS game is as likely to happen as is the chance that I would ever do a game under Canadian rules. Aint' happening.
