No room for this in sports. Team subsequently kicked out of the playoffs by the league.
High School football player attacks referee
agree that there is no place for it in sports, and probably warrants criminal charges. I believe the team removed itself for the playoffs, not the league.

If the kid isn't jailed, then we are nearing anarchy.
Also not the first time this has happened in Texas.
Another interesting twist in this story is apparently this same kid got into an altercation with a referee in a high school soccer game.

He was a district player of the year... probably will cost the kid a scholarship. But its football, in Texas, so someone will give him another chance... and hopefully some anger management counseling.
He should be ineligible from sports via the Texas HS Athletic Association. I dont want him changing schools and becoming able to play.
Saw this earlier this morning on the Texas Tech forum. @BuckNasty is right that he did this in soccer during the 2019-2020 season. There were also two player that did this a 2-3 years ago in San Antonio.
If the team removed itself from the playoffs then that is fine but I don't think they should be kicked out because of this. Not right to punish the other players that have worked hard all year for the actions of one idiot.

I saw that on Instagram last night and was shocked and not shocked at the same time. Sports have have gotten UBER competitive and some perspective has been lost.
sad to say BUT if he can play then he will get another chance from someone. we see this all the time in the NFL...just look at tryeek hill and joe mixon.

Saw this earlier. Pretty baffling, but kind of in line with how we're going as a society.
If I ever even considered something like this during my junior sports days, I'd be more afraid of my Dad than the authorities.

not kicked out, school district voluntarily removed the team from the playoffs, was not the league’s decision from what I’ve read.

From Yahoo sports:
The Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District announced Friday that it has decided to remove Edinburg High School from the playoffs as a result of the incident.

Just read about this. The fact that he had done the same thing in the previous soccer season should make take a hard look at this person. Obviously being suspended from that season didn't teach him anything.

As soon as I saw this I thought to myself, that kid will likely never get to play football again. All because of one moment where he lost his cool.
Totally not right and I hope that ref is OK.

Crazy thing is this is not the first time he’s lost his cool. Needs to be banned from all athletics.

Inexcusable behaviour.
