Do I need to cut and paste your comments?
Please don't pretend that you are being professional in all of your responses. Your words are the only evidence I need.
Lastly, my law enforcement reference was dead on. One must only be able to witness an injustice or use of poor judgement to make a difference. I am certain that the people that video taped Rodney King being brutalized by the highly trained officers of the City of Los Angeles were not members of the law enforcement community. yet, they were perfectly able to recognize poor judgement and comment on it. My brother in law is a Sergeant with the Texas DPS (State Trooper). I have had plenty of discussions about his training and the judgement involved in his career. You've failed to recognize the difference between seeing someone doing something wrong and being able to comment on it. You say that you can't comment on a bad call made by an official unless you are an official in that sport, as well. Hogwash! If I see a referee signal a three point shot or a Side Judge indicate that a pass was complete, only to see replays that clearly show the foot over the line prior to release and the ball hit the ground before the receiver retained it, I can sure as hell say that the official blew the call. I do not need to know his mechanics; I do not have to train for years to know how to call a completed pass; I just have to use my eyes to see the call and then my mouth to comment. We don't like being second guessed by outsiders. But, the difference here is that if I made the call and a fan is yelling that I need glasses, it is very different from another official saying that I need to be qualified before I can recognize a bad call. Who are you kidding?
