Wasn’t the ref just protesting what the idiots were doing?? That is no different than kneeling.
A year and a half ?
I think the only people ya see left in the stands are American hating Democrat leftist.
Ping.
He has my respect.
If SJWs had their druthers, he'd be imprisoned.

“An Air Force One veteran turned Indiana high school referee was slammed with an 18-month suspension for choosing to walk out of a game he was refereeing after he saw an athlete kneeling during the National Anthem.’
This is a situation where conservatives need to get off their fat, useless asses and show up at the schoolboard meeting by the thousands. Demand that the schoolboard reverse the decision or be thrown out of office.
Trump is leading a revolution against the fascists and commies, and it’s time that conservatives show up and volunteer to help throw these leftist pigs out of the public schools.
Somehow I don’t think the constitution was written to excuse sin and persecute the rightious. But that is how it’s used these days.
Wonder how many libs make up the IHSAA, especially the “decision makers?
I’m willing to wager a whole bunch.
Oh, and that girl that was kneeling, she should be tossed off the team. She may have a constitutional right to do so, but not one to remain on the team for doing so.
He is right about this.
He also said that, after much thought, it was the athletes constitutional right to do what she wants to do, regardless if it offended or upset him.
He is wrong about that. There have been several court decisions showing that high school students do not have the right of free speech at school events or on school grounds.
Good man.
I don’t know anything about the person that was kneeling but I am guessing it’s one of the same that has ruined so many of our cities, so many of our schools, etc.
Nice find.
This man will find his way - via google - to this thread and will be reading our comments.
To him I say:
Sir, thank you for your service to your country and your love and respect for our National Anthem and Stars & Bars.
You have the right to free speech and to object to offensive behavior.
You have our respect and prayers.
God bless you and the USA!
I say, “Yea, Jim Sadler!”
A true Patriot.
This guy is an idiot. He makes a decision and then spends the whole article apologizing for it and reverting to the old its her constitutional right bs. Same logic, isnt it a HS valedictorians right to thank God or to,say a prayer? The guy is a complete tool.
Jim Saddler, great guy
I ref high school volleyball in Texas. A fellow referee encountered this same situation. He stayed to ref the match, and then called the assigner and told her he would not ref any further matches involving the school.
That’s the correct way to deal with this situation.
That said, I think the guy has a viable claim against the state association for the ban; and especially the length of it. He is being deprived of his right to earn a living.
The guy apologized and stated it would not happen again. That is sufficient.
Somethings are just more important than games
