At the end of the hearing today (the San Antonio papers had staff there live-tweeting and Scribbling the event), the following Tweet was responded to by me as follows:
@Texas6ASports @Ben_Baby You've given such God-like status to Texas HS football that incidents like this can't even be properly dealt with.

Ben Baby (and I assume that IS his name) is a staff writer for the San Antonio Express-News.
To say he didn't like that "take" (nor I, his response) was, well... evident:
@Ben_Baby No, unfortunately, some of us understand what happens when you give football the kind of status it has in Texas. #GrowSomeBalls

And here comes somebody else to defend the sanctity *cough ahem* of Texas High School Football...
@darkstar7646 @Ben_Baby What are you like 5? Most of your tweets are about the WWE but suddenly you are the authority on Texas HS football

To which I replied:
@fierceb13 Nice to see you defend the establishment that wants a ref crippled. #GoodOne #Clap (PS: I Tweet about what I want to Tweet.) #TY

I'd hate to think what Kasey would do if she saw this blog.Let's put it this way: If I were running Texas high school football, it would've taken me 12 hours to shut down the John Jay football program. The investigations and hearing determine how many seasons they get shut down after this one.
I'm, more, an expert on that it's time the ref attacks stop. By force if need be.
To me, with my admittedly-limited exposure to Texas HS football, I can see the environment be such like the movie "Friday Night Lights", where (for dramatic effect) a coach of a predominantly Black team in the state championships demands Black officials, lest his team get screwed and injured -- and he was right in so thinking!
But, I see it's more important that The Show Must Go On, right Kasey and Ben?
