What a pos
New York Times just published an article on this (‘I’m Not Just a Kid Who Did Something Wrong’).
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/12/sports/texas-high-school-football-assault-referee.html?campaign_id=61&emc=edit_ts_20210712&instance_id=35134&nl=the-great-read®i_id=31927093&segment_id=63246&te=1&user_id=1fce343efa335bf31247e1a51aaeb958
A couple of years in prison for assault, then let him try again.
Way to attack someone twice your age who isn't looking at you. Super cool.
He is getting another chance.
Coming here from the nyt article – after watching this I feel like sometimes you don't get a second chance. I hope this young man is able to make other options work because he does not deserve to step on a field after this. No excuse for this conduct in my book.
Emotions were high but what did that prove
More proof that sports does not build character – it reveals it.
I know that he is a kid and everyone deserves a second chance but my feelings towards this are very strong!! His punishment should be extensive and by that I mean years in prison!

The raider would love him.
people are making a bid deal of this
piece of shet
You don’t know the full story the ref could have been calling cheap calls throughout the game and maybe been payed by the other team
I blame that on bad parenting. Please Just think about it before you respond to this text.
Kid hit like a girl..he would not last.
Say good bye to your future football career young punk
Probably expelled from school for this besides being charged for assault. Will end up dealing meth from some basement until he blows up the house and himself. No great loss.
I wonder if he thinks it was worth it.
