He won't address it. He acts like we live in an all white area with no minorities. The fact is gresham has a lot of latinos. In dviss mind all we do is talk to white people and surround ourselves with white people which if that was the case wouldn't be wrong at all but it's not true. All around that Reynolds area are asians, latinos, blacks. Shits about 5 minutes from me
Not sure why my post got edit above I'm pretty sure I was ridiculing what cippy was saying @SlyPokerDog
And while you want to say that I won't address this, muthafucka I was at work then I went to pick up my son. Some of us have lives and responsibility.
I'm confused why? I legitimately just want to know. No agendas or anything. No idea why it's being ignored.
You are one of the ones in here that I can actually have a conversation with. Do I ever ignore you? To answer your question, yes I've reffed at Reynolds, David Douglas, Barlow etc. People always say things to the referee. People get really creative sometimes. I can honestly say I've never gone out to that area and have someone say what was said to me at Damascus Christian.
To be specific about what happened at DC, I was refereeing a Varsity Boys game there one night. In the third quarter I made a call that the home fans didn't like and neither did the home coach. It was one of those types of calls that no one can see it but the referee. The call was right in my lap. After I'm done reporting the foul the home coach turns and looks at me and says:
"From the moment I saw you, I knew you didn't know what you were doing. If you have a day job, don't quit it."
Since he got personal and took it outside of basketball, I gave him his official warning and let him know that anymore unsportsmanlike conduct would result in him losing the use of his coaching box.
He didn't say shit after that and his team ended up losing by double digits.
The bottom line is that people need to stop seeing the world through their own perspective. Take some time and step into someone else's shoes before you say how they feel, think, and believe.
