Re: [moderated] Sportsmanship!

I was in the stands during the match, deliberation and ruling. At the end of the discussion among the refs, Andy took the mike and explained everything to the crowd. I was really impressed with how open he was with the audience, even making fun of there being too much discussion. A very few people booed, but as soon as I heard that I started clapping (as did many others, far more than booed), not because I agreed or disagreed with the ruling, but because I could tell it was a hard job and the refs deserved some support. I'm glad I wasn't out there making the calls!
