Ken Chapman a joke

[Porkchopchic]

I'm just curious if the same umpires that "cheated" gordonsville last night were the same umpires that "cheated" them tonight against Watertown.

I said that this district was extremly close in terms of the teams this year, and that anyone could win it. I watched Watertown against RBS and we hit the ball, but they made the play almost every time. They are a much improved ball team now than wht they were earlier in the season.

This is simply another feather in the Ken Chapman's hat of failures. Privately most of his schools would switch to someone else. Of course, publicly they can't say anything due to retaliation.

 

Now to make your skin crawl, Chapman's daughter graduated from Friendship, and this year his grandson (a FCS baseball player) graduates from Friendship. Of course, to hear Chapman tell it, this means nothing... :roflolk:

Move on man, G ville lost to Watertown. LOL

I saw the ump fly in on a black helicopter flown by Mel Gibson. What a movie this could be.

You guys think this is bad?? A few days ago in the district 1A championship (baseball) the tourny was being played at North Greene, and North Greene was playing. To beat all, one of the umpires was a gentleman who had graduated from NG just 5 years ago, and happened to play baseball there as well. Now THAT is a conflict of interest.

This situation is worth noting, but.... The Chapman - Miller situation, considering their tie-in with Friendship, one with a daughter that graduated from the school and a grandson that graduates this year (a FCS baseball player). The other is a guy that 5 years ago was an assistant basketball coach for FCS.

 

Needless to say, I don't think this was a mistake. It's as if it was planned... But regardless of a mistake or being planned, I blame Chapman. Most umpires just go where they are assigned. Maybe Miller voiced his concerns prior to the game, but ultimately it's the assignor's fault. The assignor should be reprimanded appropriately.

 

Sticking the proverbial "head in the sand" only means that abuses will continue, and kids will continue to be affected negatively. Do what needs to be done TSSAA. Send a message and make this assignor accountable! There are others in that group of umpires that can do better, much better. But if Chapman had any character, he would hide his head in shame and resign immediately.

Irony, or proof?

 

Friendship loses its sectional. There was not a Chapman umpire on the game.

 

Umm...???

FCS losing to Grace only proves that Grace score more runs. I'm sure there was a bunch of games this year that FCS has won and lost in which Chapman was not an umpire.
