entire crowd ejected from game?

I was looking at the Alexa site. Wondering if I’m reading that little widget I installed on my computer correctly, and I ran acrosss this link about an ump who ejected everyone in the stands at a HS baseball game.

WEST BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) – An umpire has emptied the stands at a high school baseball game, ejecting the entire crowd of more than 100 fans for being unruly.

Umpire Don Briggs said he had no problem with any of the student athletes during Thursday’s game between Winfield-Mount Union and West Burlington.

He said he had to take action because fans were being unruly, yelling and arguing, and called police as a precaution.

However, West Burlington superintendent James Sleister said he didn’t see any unusual behavior and said he thought the umpire overreacted.

The game resumed after a 40-minute delay. West Burlington won 12-11.

Notice the sentence I bolded. Fans will be fans I guess ;)
