Post by: Cortez (Mr. T. FOO!) on May 05, 2013, 10:50:40 AM: What sort of asshole punches someone for making a call against them, in any sport? Even if the ref didn't die this would be absolutely ridiculous. I hope this person is never allowed to play organized sports again...

And again, there are just idiots like this in the world, and can happen in any sport, not just football :x

Despite that this guy being seriously out of line and for him to feel the need to assault someone over something so small is in-human.
If people had more discipline they would learn respect.

Post by: Old Crow on May 05, 2013, 01:31:25 PM: Maybe so, but we have yet to see anybody else die in football, hockey, and basketball. I think baseball is the only one, and that was a heart attack.
