Assaulting an official

If you call then you are going to have to stick around and that may cause more trouble than it is worth.

Sorry, gotta say that this is bad advice. If a person threatens you, it certainly is justification to threaten to phone the police, or to actually phone the police.

It's called preventative citizenship.

I never talk to any "fans" after a game unless they want to talk about the weather or how well the kids played.
I have seen this posted on one (maybe more) boards that "silence can never be mis-quoted".

Call all you want once you are in the car and on your way out of there. That is called preventative self-defense.

Yup! Call the police.
