  - Too late. #BatGate has begun. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 11:51 1

- the refs did a terrible job not just during the game, but pre-game as well to allow that -- nm* - Little Drummer Beak Dec 21, 11:42 2
  - do the refs have jurisdiction over pre-game warmups? -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 21, 11:43 1
    - I would assume, they can call penalties for the proper wearing of socks so why not :) -- nm - Little Drummer Beak Dec 21, 11:44
- that changes everything. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 21, 11:40 15
  - Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 11:41 14
    - I mean he's supposed to be professional and let the play on the field beat them but I completely understand his reaction. It's asking too much. - Mel Profit Dec 21, 11:43 13
      - I disagree 100%. But it shouldn't be an issue today. He should have been ejected way before this escalated. - ML Dec 21, 11:52 3
        
        Why does it seem like the entire squad of officials should be fired after this year? -- nm - Shaun Dec 21, 11:55 2
        
        because they all suck ass so hard their faces are in a constant state of pucker. - Black Ops Deevs Dec 21, 11:59 1
        
        Yeah. Why your IM isn't true is absolutely perplexing. -- nm - ML Dec 21, 12:01
      - Eh. Did he really feel threatened? Did he think they were going to meet him out back after the game? He had a target on his back as a player, but - pmb Dec 21, 11:50 8
        
        His reaction is based on the actions of others. One doesn't happen without the other. - Mel Profit Dec 21, 11:56 7
        
        Yeah, I just don't buy it. There's no question they were trying to get inside his head, but come on. They're not really taking bats to him. I'm not - pmb Dec 21, 12:05 2
        
        and how does one get to remain in a game after 3 personal fouls? Ridic. -- nm - Black Ops Deevs Dec 21, 12:06 1
        
        right, the penalties are laughable. - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 21, 12:22

        I may be laughing a little too much at this. -- nm - Black Ops Deevs Dec 21, 12:07
- Yeah. This morning on Mike and Mike, Chris Carter said that........ - Volnelk Dec 21, 11:38 2
  - agreeance to your im. he's just pissy cause ODB kicked his ass all over the field -- nm - Little Drummer Beak Dec 21, 11:39

        Not as many as if the races were switched. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 21, 12:13 6
        
        It's a good thing that more there are more people care about inclusion and representation than there are people who don't care about those things -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 21, 12:23 5
        
        Maybe one day we'll be advanced enough as a society to look beyond skin color. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 21, 12:26 3
        
        It's one step at a time - such as with the casting of this play. -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 21, 12:34
        
        yes, the long history of black discrimination against white people is a shameful chapter in our history -- nm - humbug Dec 21, 12:30 1
        
        *looking around trying to find someone who said that* -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 21, 12:32
        
        please think about the poor oppressed white fictional characters -- nm - humbug Dec 21, 12:25
      - Sure. I mean, I don't care--it's JK's character to do with what she wants. It's just an odd change from the books (putting aside the films). -- nm - ML Dec 21, 11:37 9
        
        the books don't specify -- nm - zork Dec 21, 11:37 8
        
        I see that's what JK tweeted, but I'm also seeing an excerpt that describes her face as white. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. - ML Dec 21, 11:40 6

        could be. I only remember Dean, the Patils, and Kingsley being described as to their colour. - zork Dec 21, 11:43 1
        
        and the Malfoys. -- nm - zork Dec 21, 11:45
        
        I haven't read all of the books, but the verbage in my post below was from a picture of one of the HP books, and would seem to indicate otherwise. -- nm - The Death Sceire Dec 21, 11:39
    - just that plot-wise, it kind of doesn't matter. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 21, 11:33
    - In the books she's described as having brown eyes and frizzy hair. -- nm - mara Dec 21, 11:31 4
      - Well....and also..."Hermoine's white face was sticking out from behind a tree..." -- nm - The Death Sceire Dec 21, 11:36 2
