Ok, I've seen it all now - yesterday during my daughter's 18-U A-level fastpitch game, the field umpire was sucking on a lollipop while out on the field. At one point, he spent almost 2 minutes trying to unlodge the thing from the stick, and in my opinion was paying no attention to the game. I was very offended as it's not very professional, and potentially dangerous. I did go speak to the tournament director and the head ump and said "Since when are umpires allowed to suck lollipops while on the field?" They both were very suprised and said they'd talk to him.
What is the consensous out there? Did I do the right thing?
