Now you guys have a good idea of what happens in my games.

I think it's funny that the guy went to considerable detail to look like an official. And his stopping the clock mechanic looked decent, along with the run to see the R.

As if you needed more proof that the USA is over-litigious.

He was charged with "criminal impersonation" of a ref. Good grief. What do the cops do during Hallowe'en? They need to keep perspective.

Am I suppose to feel sorry for the guy? There's a very easy way for him to avoid being charged with criminal impersonation...don't come to a football game dressed as a football official, run onto the field where you have no business being, then strip down to your underwear.

Not only did he come onto the field, he stopped play and might have been indirectly in the reasoning for a huge fight. And people do not become charged for impersonating a cop for dressing up, it is their actions that suggest they are a cop to deceive people. This guy was in a uniform deceived people for a moment.

Cops don't charge people. Cops just arrest 'em - prosecuting attorney's issue the charges.

If someone dressed as an officer during Halloween committed a crime and his impersonation aided in that crime, then they would be arrested...just as this guy was. The fact that he came in dressed in attire similar to an official, ran into the field blowing his whistle, and came in with the stop clock signal, all in a manner to impersonate the game official, I feel no sympathy for the accused here. And in reality, this will probably end up being pleaded down.

But the security guard's tackle, while effective against an opponent not expecting it, wasn't good form-wise.
