I can't believe this! Some pussy umpire in Iowa didn't like the abuse he was getting at a high school game, so he tossed the entire crowd!
Dude! If you can't handle a crowd in Iowa, you would really not make it elsewhere. Turn off your rabbit ears or quit.
WEST BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) -- An umpire emptied the stands at a high school baseball game, ejecting the entire crowd of more than 100 fans for being unruly.
Umpire Don Briggs said he had no problem with any of the student athletes during Thursday's game between Winfield-Mount Union and West Burlington.
He said he had to take action because fans were being unruly, yelling and arguing.
However, West Burlington Superintendent James Sleister said he didn't see any unusual behavior and said he thought the umpire overreacted.
The game resumed after a 40-minute delay. West Burlington won 12-11.
