This had to be hard as hell!!
My husband was good at yelling from the stands during basketball games and during a tournament match the ref blew his whistle, looked at my husband in the stands and told him he was going to throw him out if he didn't shut up. My husband, ever the good sport, apologized to the ref after the game. However, everyone sitting around us waited in the parking lot to pat my husband on the back for disagreeing with those calls. He was on cloud 9 all the way home. Exonerated!
