Texas high school football player slams ref to the ground after ejection

[POND_OF_RED]

Mark Davis is apparently trying to convince the league to end the “3 years out of High School” draft rule after seeing this video.

He’s a star wrestler, too.


Well, he was a star wrestler.

That wasn’t just a belly bump, put a hit on the ref. He’s done.

Jacked Up just isn't as good as it used to be.

Again, while it's easy to see the end result and error on the side of outrage, it would be interesting, perhaps important, to know what led up to the official being bumped to determine how outraged we should be.

In b4 "it doesn't matter what the official has done or said, they're Gods, you must accept whatever they do and smile along the way; officiating is hard! And it's fine that there's no way to complain about an official, show evidence that they're biased and often time very wrong, no way to file within-the-league charges against them that result in any action that will fix their 'mistakes', and that their peer review is a sham that nobody can prove actually happens because it's all super-secret."

But who knows, maybe the kid is just a nut.

How about "it doesn't matter what the official has done or said, he's a human being and blindsiding him for ANY reason is wrong."

So, personal foul and 15 yards tacked on to the ejection and case closed?

Again, we have no idea why he did it. All I'm asking for is that what lead up to the belly-bumping of the official to be shown/discussed. You can't claim to be making an completely informed decision with just seeing the result. And in the day-and-age we live in where officials appear to be making increasingly biased calls, who knows...

Yeah, case closed.

What the kid did wasn't "football" it was outside of football.

No different than if the ref had walked up to him on the street, said something derogatory to the kid, and the kid punched him

It's a crime. The fact that it happened on a football field is irrelevant.

EDIT: I read it wrong. No you wouldn't tack on a penalty. Once the kid was ejected, he's no longer a participant. It's no different than if a spectator had come out of the stands and leveled the ref. It's a crime.

Are you serious here? This kind of thinking is why our world is in such a crazy f’d up place. Perps like this kid are coddled and given ever conceivable excuse for their idiotic behavior instead of simply agreeing it was wrong and doling out an appropriate punishment immediately. Same kind of thinking justifies looting, rioting and cop killings. Amazing.

What if ref called him a racial slur?

Assault is assault. Reacting with physical violence is never justifiable under the law unless you're talking about stand-your-ground laws or self defense.

While he was standing on the ****ing sideline? He would have had to yell it for everyone to hear. ****ing idiot

At least now he's got an excuse for not getting a college football scholarship for a reason other than being a tubby chump who hits like Kirsty Tynes.


I'm assuming this is just a sample set of the type of decisions this kid will make for the next decade.

It will be be interesting to follow his progress in life when he ends up in the joint, playing for the Mean Machine.

"Duron was also suspended during the 2019-20 soccer season because of a similar incident during a match."


He seems like a real salt of the earth kind of guy.
