Assault on Football Referee's

[persong]

WTF is going on with coaches and parents. Anyone else see the video of the coach tackling the ref then the mob fight. all because they did not like the calls. Sad. Is the game really worth that?? That is why I like baseball. Got the mask, chest protector. can't hurt me..

3 coaches charged with felony battery on an official, 14 yr old charged as well. Absolutely shameful...and the video has them dead to rights, but who knows what a jury will do.

If these teams are allowed to play again and they probably will I hope they can't get officials.

When I refereed soccer while I was in High School I was doing a rec game solo. Apparently, behind me a player hit another player. I didn't see it and when I looked there was nothing happening, but the parents and coach were going ape shizzle. I yellow carded a coach for entering the field to yell at me, then the next thing I know a glass Gatorade bottle went by my head. I just walked off the field and never worked that league again and encouraged as many people as I could never to work that league.
