How far does the autonomy go?

[Mountaincoach]

Out of position and becomes a part of the play, literally doesn't even think about the runner coming home, gets knocked down and spun around with his eyes pointed in the opposite direction, and then apparently listens to a player who is slapping the plate and proclaiming she is safe (never mind the obvious tag that he missed seconds earlier). Makes an incorrect safe call (because she said so apparently), gets up, and walks off the field knowing he completely missed the entire play. I gotta hand it to the two field umpires--they certainly didn't break the "rule" and walked off with their heads down. You guys need to understand one thing--these viral videos are going to continue to explode in popularity. When will the motivation to get the call right become more important than the autonomy of the officials and the "dignity of the game"?
