Hugging the Judges

Just thought it was worth mentioning that figure skating is not the only sport whose referees display questionable behavior at major world events.

Apparently, a ref was caught on camera "celebrating" with the Nigerian soccer team's goalie at the World Cup this weekend after Nigeria's controversial win over Bosnia Herzegovina. A petition is being circulated calling for the ref's removal from the World Cup.

Hmmm, looks familiar...

Maybe it was completely innocent. It's easy to get caught up in the moment. But the thing is, it's impossible to be completely impartial. I get it. It's an unfortunate reality of competitive sports like these. But for crying out loud, how hard is it to check one's behavior in public? Wait until you get outside and away from the cameras to to enjoy the moment...
