I am a firm believer in the use of arbitration. Sometimes in arguments, perspective can be really difficult. I also stand by the avoiding violence to settle disputes. It looked like these two teams were headed straight toward an Old-West style little league slugfest.  So, thanks to Cutter's words of wisdom, the two factions may use Johnny as an umpire going forward. Arbitration, the best alternative to court, for dispute resolution should always be used responsibly and the resulting decision needs to be accepted by both parties, regardless of sore feelings. That being said, the kid was clearly safe and you're an idiot if you think otherwise
