John Wayne would have given her a come back to reality slap, a shot of whiskey to calm her nerves, then a big 'ol kiss as she slowly melts into his arms.

Whose name is on the check you're getting paid by?

If they told you right now that the football game is over, this is now a soccer game, would you stay on to officiate it?

I am missing your point. What do you mean whose name is on the check? Who is saying the game is over and who has jurisdiction to make that determination?

Maybe you'd care to elaborate on this.

Not hard to do with one of his posts lately. I hesitate to call it circular logic.

And when said school hires a plumber to fix the leaking sprinkler system, the administrator can tell him the job is done while wearing a raincoat in the office.

Where are you trying to take this? A team lost a big game and a parent went ballistic and accosted a game administrator. It sounds like the administrator tried to be patient and explain reality to the parent, who clearly lost it, and eventually gave up trying to reason with her and walked away.

Verifying her insanity, she subsequently sent a bunch of e-mails to further her complaints, which I presume also fell on deaf ears. The game is history, one team won, which requires that one team had to lose and life goes on.

I don't see where anyone did anything wrong, other than one parent blowing a gasket, which can be an unfortunate byproduct of the excitement generated by a great game.

Think how fortunate we all are, that when we go home, THAT WOMAN is not waiting for us screaming, "You won't believe what happened today".
