Title: Another disgrace in front of kids!
Post by: ljudge on October 15, 2012, 06:30:57 PM: Now this one sickens the stomach just a tad. This jack@## should be thrown in jail and NEVER allowed to come within a half mile of a youth football field. EVER!

One nice thing to see is the comments linked to the video were overwhelmingly positive towards the ref - no 'he got what he deserved' comments.

In our Youth Conference there must be a police presence during the last three games of the night. We've been yelled at by spectators when heading to the locker room on a Friday Night. One of our Police escorts usually excuses himself as he breaks to explain the felony charges that can be made for those who either verbally or physically assualt any sports official.

Post by: yarnnelg on November 20, 2012, 02:03:37 PM: If too far out of hand and threatening .... yes. Cops will usually just go over and explain the law regarding the berating or assault of officials.
