"Those" players in rec sports leagues GMG
My summer sport is Ultimate, which has one golden rule: If there's a rules/line/foul dispute, someone says "contest" and the play usually backs up one step and we play on.
I called a foul tonight on my opponent which, looking back, was a borderline call. It didn't matter though since the foul had no impact on the end result of the play.
Instead of contesting the foul that didn't matter he blew a gasket. Our co-captain attempted to settle the dispute by simply citing the rule that he can contest, but that it didn't matter... the play was over and the foul call didn't matter at all.
Our opponent (and it was just the one player on their team) escalated the issue further and eventually ended with "I'll f***ing punch you in the mouth if you say one more word"
It ruined an incredible game. Up until that point the game had been really fun and super competitive.
Rec sports are serious business :/
