Wow, there is no room for something like this in sports. Ban from the sport is imminent.

[NumberSix]

Was it the whites or was it the blacks?

[imdaman99]

Did he died?

Naw but he got headbutted in the butt. I'm sure he's ok, just a bruised ego getting knocked out by 2 kids. Before anyone asks, I don't know if they were white or black

*Edit dammit it's been in question already

It blows my mind people are seeking punishment beyond being kicked off the team. Criminal charges? Really?

Why not?

[NumberSix]

Why not?

This.

Why wouldn't you charge them? It was clearly a premeditated assault. Unless you believe that 2 players just happened to both accidentally run into a stationary ref that was nowhere near any kind of play.

If he was making shit calls and had absolutely no idea what he was doing he absolutely deserves it

Lets not act like HS refs dont have an agenda or arent biased. **** all HS refs

According to reports he made a couple ejections before the play.

If you dont know what you are doing get the **** off the court

Under normal "in-game fight" circumstances, I'd typically agree. However, attempting to spear and tackle an unsuspecting, 45-year-old amateur official from the back while wearing pads and a helmet is probably pretty solid grounds for assault.

It's fortunate the official was not more severely injured. Concussion, whiplash, or vertebrae issues all seem like they could have been possibilities if the first player had hit him just a little bit differently.

I know this will sound dramatic, but that was pretty much assault. I'm trying to think of an apt comparison but it's tough to come by. If a basketball player took a 20-30 foot running start and dropped a stationary ref from behind, only for his teammate to come dive on top seconds later, I think it would have been a similar result. Only, in the real case, these fellows were wearing helmets and pads.

these nggas are geniuses. did they seriously assault an old white guy while on tape. while thousands of people were watching...

They could have killed him.

[ballup]

This ain't The Longest Yard kids.

Bets on whether the kids admit to it or put an excuse along the lines of "he got in the way"?

In Utah a few months back there was some high school soccer player who punched a referee and literally KILLED him.

And some loony people out there thought he actually deserved MORE than just a red card and ejection


What a crazy world!

We actually had the exact same situation occur in Michigan last year. A rec league official made a call an adult player didn't like, so the player sucker punched him, tearing arteries in his neck and killing him on the spot.

Yea cause getting tackled and actually ****ing dying are the same thing.


Second dude was way worse, spear head almost to the spine. First guy basically gave him a NYC subway shoulder bump.

I think the first guy made sure to hit him so he didn't hurt him, 2nd dude didn't give a fk. Both are idiots and should be banned from the sport, I don't know if I would press charges. It's up to the ref I guess.
