Yes, my TV is still on. I also just heard the unbelievable story of an umpire who attacked a spectator in a recent Australian Rules game in Brisbane. The game was a pre-season game involving local clubs, & the game took place at St Lucia. I didn't catch the full details, & at this stage it's not clear why the attack took place. But it's terrible that it happened at all.
Never heard anything like this before. You do hear talk about protection of umpires every now & then; that is, protection of umpires from abuse or attacks from players & spectators. And fair enough, too. But here, we got a reverse situation - a situation where the umpire instigates an attack on someone in the crowd. Terrible.
I hope the umpire gets a long-term ban or a heavy punishment for his actions.
