Two high school football players didn’t like that some of their teammates were ejected from a game and that their opponent was running the clock out on them.
So they decided to take it out on the ref.
Seems they never learned how to take a beating.
The official is reportedly going to press charges against the two players.
We have two eight year old boys, I showed them this video and told them if they EVER do something like that their football careers are over and they won’t be able to sit for a week.
There is no reason for this, none.
Kick em out, then prosecute them.
Bet you it was racial.
Definitely assault and they might as well go for deadly weapon with those helmets. I served on a Texas jury that gave a life sentence to a punk teen gang member who decided to stomp an adult male who, “didn’t show him respect.” The fact that the two of them obviously planned the assault isn’t going to sit well with the jury. You do not pull this crap in Texas and just get your hand slapped.

If the helmet fits you must acquit.
They should be kicked off the team AND prosecuted for assault.
Ban them from that high school, ban them from any high school sport in case they switch districts and prosecute those cowardly little fuckers to the max as adults.
I remember when it was a big deal just to swear on a football field, which resulted in an ejection. To swear at an official would result in a suspension of more than a game, at least. These punks should never play high school football, again. And I’m glad to see the ref is going to press charges. It sure seems like American society is degenerating at an ever-accelerating pace.
Mr and Mrs Obama have to be so proud of their sons. They didn’t shoot the official in the back of the head.
The students involved have not been identified or their race given. So we all need to hold off on making a link there.
By the looks from the footage of the incident, I think we will be revisiting this story once the two are charged and their information is released, assuming they go to adult court.
The first blind sider certainly looked black, so we’ll see when more details come out.
I had to chuckle at this one. My middle son is 6’4″ and weighs about 210. He is a ref for midget & jv football. Only doing it for about 2 years but I showed him this and he laughed. He said they are told to call the police and not to retaliate. In this case?! He just grinned!
The NFL welcomes convicted felons with open arms and we Americans pay nearly anything to watch them play. This is much deeper than a few high school idiots.
sure there is, you can’t have thugs taking their weapons out on the field – it’s a gun free zone
Florida State has already offered them scholarships.
The entire TEAM must be penalized as they certainly must foster this type of attitude.
The TEAM must be shut down for at least 2 years.
