Thread Name: BS: Trash Talk
Subject: BS: Trash Talk
I recieved a call to provide a crew (referee and 2 linesmen)for a hockey game in a city just N of Toronto(I won't say it) because their previous games(play-offs)have been fight filled and the parents and fans in general have been fighting in the stands. They requested "neutral officials". No fights took place, but what really caught my attention was the level of trash talk. They called each other the most obscene names. We penalize that stuff, it's called "Gross Misconduct". The part that really pissed me off was they would say it where we couldn't positively identify the guilty player. 15-16 year old kids throwing racial and discriminatory slurs like they were candy. Worst game I've ever done!
