Two Players Ejected For Patting Each Other

On Thursday, two players were ejected from a game between the Toronto Raptors and Phoenix Suns. The players were Grant Hill and Reggie Evans. The reason they got kicked out was because each patted the others butt. This may sound ridiculous that such a thing would get players kicked out but hey it did happen and a lot of people were laughing at this. Referee Bill Kennedy was the one who called for the ejection. Oh boy did people boo him when he did that. This call makes no sense at all. Some speculate that he may have over reacted a bit, maybe a lot. Well when the players were walking of people were cheering for them and at the same time booing the ref. One might wonder is this what the power of refs come to. I mean a little thing like that can cause to get ejected from a game. The players will also have to pay a price for this technical foul as it is called. The players in the league will probably refrain from patting other peoples butts as it a gesture in sports. This incident has shown us that some refs abuse their powers.

Also people say that Bill Kennedy is quick with his own calls but the call he made outdid his abilities. I mean people are already calling this the worst ejection of the preseason. I mean we haven't even got to the real season yet. In the end I hope that such calls won't be called during the regular season, because it will make the games boring.
