Ref gets slammed

I hope charges are pressed against that kid. Also, can't imagine he ever plays another snap of football.
We are all a little surprised Bo Pelini never did something like that?
That kid needs kicked off the team permanently and banned from playing at any other school.... No Place for crap like that at all
30 days in jail if it were up to me. 2 years community service added on. Zebra Lives Matter.
Without seeing what drew the flag, how can we be so sure the kid was in the wrong?
The football player was just going up to apologize to the ref. I didn't see any contact, looked like the ref flopped!!
Crazy dude. Apparently he did a similar deed during last year’s soccer season. Amazing that he was still allowed to participate in high school sports.
Future cellmate of Vontaze Burficht or Incognito.

This is a really bad take… Even if the flag was bush league, what this kid did is inexcusable.
I think it was sarcasm...at least I'm hoping.
1. What did he expect to accomplish? He couldn't have possibly thought he was going to plow over the ref and just walk away.
2. Was it pure rage, does this kid have no self control whatsoever? I hate to sentence a kid, but that sort of unfiltered violence will eventually land you in prison.
3. This kid blocked out the crowd, his teammates, the opposing team, police and everything else to focus on one thing: hurting the ref. That is very disturbing.
4. He'll be working for the cartel in no time.
I was in about the fourth or fifth grade when one of our star high school bb players pushed a ref. He was banned for the year and our school was put on several years of probation, whatever that meant. (While there was no excuse, I remember the same ref from when I played in HS and he liked to get in your face with his foul calls.)
As inexcusable as that was, it was an immediate reaction as opposed to this case where the jerk had at least a brief time to regain his composure -- and 30 yards of distance to think about what he was about to do.

I hate keyboards sometimes. I have trouble reading sarcasm. Ugh.
Maybe the Vanderbilt kicker can give him a pep talk instead?
Kid charged with assault today, and his team was eliminated from the playoffs. I am sure his teammates are real happy with him.
Maybe I read it wrong, but it says Edinburg won 35-21. Still a punk ass move by a punk ass thug.
I like this kind of stuff. Of course it's not sportsmanlike and maybe assault for knocking him over, but I wish it happened more often. If ref's had some fear of retaliation, maybe they would call a cleaner game. Currently, there is no real mechanism for that sort of thing.. they are untouchable.. and maybe they shouldn't be.
They won but were removed (by their own school district, I think) from the playoffs today.
