The scary part is there are a lot out there like him.

He just fucked himself. I am sure he will try to hide behind some kind of alcoholism or substance abuse excuse. We'll see if that saves his job but probably not.

So it's not like umpires are some sort of gold standard for humanity; thus this most recent news doesn't surprise me.
