Why are officials even trying to break anything up?  When the game is over, leave the field!  In one article it mentioned there was another game so perhaps they had to stay on the field.  If that is the case, get far away from the fight, especially if jurisdiction is over.

This as not your typical situation.  It was a rec league activity, not school activity.  One of the refs was apparently part of the board that oversees that league.  The league has a rule that has officials doing things after games if needed.  And there was another game to be played there.

Among the several ways soccer is unique, officials are usually expected to stay around until the field clears and leave the field deliberately as a unit.  There are a lot of things I like about the sport, but that's one thing I don't get.
