I think the only over-reaction is to the people reacting to those of us that think it was dumb. Ultimately I don't really care - but having a total of 13 drinks and playing hockey, and then being a part of a team that gets kicked out of a game for some sort of abuse on an official - is all kinds of dumb.
That's all we were saying. It was dumb. Funny? Probably. But dumb too. Lots of dumb.
I've played a lot of rec sports and these type of teams piss me off. If I was the other team i would have been pissed off, if I was the ref I would have been pissed off. And I also get the impression that in some ways the fingers are being pointed at the ref in this case. Which brings me back to a previous point - if you show up to a game drunk - you really have no leg to stand on. That's why you don't do that.
But since I'm neither I'm not. Just saying how I view the situation.
