Heard a few people at GX including a short serial offender are in trouble again for abusing umpires last Saturday
In his defence, the umpire reported a GX player for allegedly using the word cheat without, I am told any profanities or obscenity included, and so the 'short serial offender' was trying highlight what may well be a trivial report and a waste of everyone's time on a Wednesday night.
You don't have to use profanities or obscenities to be offensive.
Touche! However I think its time some of these umpires toughened up just a bit
Call an umpire a cheat and you question his character, ethics and morals, call an umpire a stupid, dumb, blind maggot and he might just shrug his shoulders and move on (although I wouldn't recommend it....).
