Football Texas high school football player slams ref to the ground after ejection - Page 8

All of this because some drunk jackass hit a ref at a football game. Ridiculous!

Ouch. That seems off base if it was someone who wasn't under the jurisdiction of the sports teams.

I guess it would help the crowd police their own, though. Sports events probably get an outsized share of idiots in the stands.

On that note, I like it when some idiot who runs on the field gets plastered by a player or security person. I liked KC Wolf's body slam on the interloper a while back, too. I guess it makes me happy regardless of who hits the person.

Kicking the offender off the team and charging him with a real crime should be enough.

Pricks. :-)

Yeah, and like Bug said, I'd really hope there was more to the story. Yet, this statement makes no sense, since they've already taken swift and harsh punishment against the rest of the team.... punish everyone first, gather facts later! :-)

Wow. I would have been LIVID.

If I'm some random player on the HS team getting the boot, I am absolutely livid.

WTF did everyone else do to deserve a pre-emptive boot from the postseason based off the actions of one fucking moron? The video clearly shows his own team trying to stop him both before and after the takedown.

For the whole team to get banned I would at least like to have seen a tag team finisher so that you could accuse multiple players of being involved.

Imagine some OL hoisting the ref up on his shoulders and then the crazy kid comes off the bleachers to give him a Doomsday Device.

Kid shouldn't serve time but could certainly use anger management classes.

Sucks for his teammates to be made examples of but it's necessary.

Why shouldn't he? That's a fucking bullshit move to blindside someone like that.

Wait, the team got booted from the playoffs?

There must have been a lot of crap going on that we don't know about.

I like the camera work, where you can just tell a little bit that the guy on the bottom is about to help in the flipping, and then the convenient flash when they switch cameras to obscure that he's doing a lot of the work.

I fell for it. I feel better about it now, thanks. Still crazy, but not on the maniac side. :-)
