Title: Football Official Attacked
Post by: RickKY on September 01, 2011, 12:57:50 PM
Unbelievable brawl during a game and attacks by player and coach.  Read the story first, then watch the video.  The referee refused to press charges according to police, and I thing that is a huge mistake.  In Florida it is a felony to attack a sports official.

The video is 5 minutes long, but you only need to watch the first minute and a half to see the attacks.  A player makes a flying tackle on the referee, then after a crowd gathers around him, an adult male stomps and kicks at the referee.
