A San Antonio School district is investigating after a football player ran into the back of a referee watching a play and another player then dove into the official after he fell. Both players were ejected from the game.

Pascual Gonzalez, a spokesman for the Northside Independent School District, told The Associated Press that video of the incident was "extremely disturbing." Gonzalez said the district is investigating and will hold a due process hearing with interviews with game officials, coaches and students.

What a dumb statement to involve a coach! How often do players assault a ref in a game? Not exactly something a coach expects to happen.

It's a stupid statement to make about a stupid coach.

I doubt we have to worry with this coach in the future!

Looks like a coach DID "suggest" a "hit".

Well, how 'bout dat!

And those "kids" didn't blink an eye or flinch. Poor coaching, lousy coaching. No instilling of values. Hell, ought to fire the whole damned coaching staff! And imprison those directly and indirectly involved.

But, you can make excuses for 'em. Is Texas football that special you'd sell your own "values" to protect it?

Don't answer. I already know.

Shut down the football program permanently.

So you would punish the entire coaching staff?...including those who had no part in it.

Lawyers would love you!

I think you're a "hot-head" who acts without thinking!

"I think..."?

Nope. Haven't seen proof of that.

I do believe the staff needs to go. When a mere assistant coach makes statements such as have been charged, he does so either knowing he'll be backed by his superiors or he knows his actions won't be punished. The rot started at the top and worked its way into the on field team.

You go on and give a wink and a nod to on field assault. I'm sure it plays well with your barbecue buds.

You assume a lot. Know little!
