Maybe so, but I'm referring to those questioning why the participants were not ejected by the umpire.


Could it be that the umpire may be a weak on the authoritive side? Maybe, but none of us were there and don't know that. There was no indication that the "investigation" included what the umpire thought at the time of the incident. For as much as we KNOW, the umpire may not have even submitted a report on the issue.
