Re: Working the refs: World cup soccer

Hear hear!

An excellent distinction between referees and observers!

acting like an ass reasonably, i.e. making bad calls because
of the heat of the moment that can be vetoed by observers
and contested by opponents, and acting like an ass
unreasonably (trying to fool the ref, with no regards to
sportmanship) is one that many folks in this forum
regard as important.

if you are really in the place where you would be willing to take
a dive like this one to fool an _observer_ because you _can_,
i would suggest that you stop playing ultimate because you
don't belong in it. but even though i don't know you, i'm sure
that you aren't at that place. i don't think i've met anyone that
is, which is one reason that i love the sport. such behaviour
is beyond the pale for us.
