giving some thought to this as well as @Buffnik 's comments in ToT, regarding the authority refs have over players and ultimately how referees can impact the career of a player. I think if I'm a player and a ref says something like that to me, I either keep it to myself or make sure it was communicated in some way that would get so much league attention and public scrutiny as to make it difficult for that ref and his friends to retaliate.
I'd liken it to my past roles as a restaurant manager. if a health inspector used those terms to me during an inspection, I'd make damn sure my complaint (a) got the person fired and (b) there was enough publicity that his soon-to-be ex-colleagues couldn't easily retaliate. otherwise, I think I'd suck it up (or change professions, which is probably not a realistic alternative for Dinwiddie).
