Referees Attacked!
As if Referees didn’t have a tough enough job, imagine what was going through this Ref’s mind as the entire sideline chases him around, and off the field.
This video makes me angry for multiple reasons. First off, the player is so far out of line that he should be kicked off the youth field for good. Next, the Referee is clearly young and probably to young/short to be the center for a game full of overagressive 16-17 year old punks. Whomever scheduled him as the center clearly wasn’t thinking, and hopefully the kid has recovered emotionally to referee again. Just absurd.

Note that in the first video, the referee lashes out with his hand and the player falls to the ground (whether or not the hand hit the player is beside the point). The referee has to keep control of his emotions and not let the players taunting get to him/her. It might have prevented this disgusting event.
Both events are absurd and I hope all players and coaches envolved were banned for life from the leagues and any school teams. If I were the coach or parents I would never show my face on a soccer field again. I also hope the refs pressed charges against the players and the were taken care of by the courts. I love soccer and these displays make me sad. I volunteer my time to teach the game and to get children to love the game like I do. I hope none of my players never have to see anything like thison the computer or in real life
