A referee needed 30 stitches after being brutally attacked by a bunch of eighth-graders at a youth basketball game in Georgia, according to TMZ.
The mayhem was captured on video Sunday at the “Love Of The Game” event at the Stronghold Christian Church. TMZ reported that multiple players from one team and spectators at the game appeared to chase the referee before pinning him to the floor, punching and kicking him.
Kenneth Tarver, the founder of KB Sports, which helped host the youth tournament in Lithonia (about 30 minutes from Atlanta), said he doesn’t know what caused the incident.
Tarver said he spoke with the referee after the scuffle and that the official is expected to make a full recovery. He added that the team involved in the incident has been banned from future events, which will include increased security.
“The referee appears outnumbered from the very start,” Paris Cherry, a former pro basketball player who is now a youth basketball development coach, told WSB-TV. “I was appalled. It was a very scary video. To see the adults instigate and then the kids follow up to the point where it was the kids who chased down the referee at the end of the video, it’s just disgusting. And it seems like there wasn’t any adult trying to break it up.”
According to TMZ, the incident is still under investigation by the Dekalb County Police Department, which responded to the scene in reference to an assault.

A pack of hyenas got loose.
They’re like a pack of street dogs pouncing on a cat.
Shameful. Each of those boys is already wired to be a no good Thug when they ‘grow up’. If they even make it that far.
The ref was black so it was Trumps fault. If the ref was white, then it would be reparations because these well dressed young men had to play in such a crappy gym and slavery.
LOL, “Love of the Game.”

Of course, 8th graders could mean anything from 14 to 19 years old.
Not really a “crazy” video if you can several similar such ones every day without even looking for them.
WORLDSTAR!
“Not really a “crazy” video if you can several similar such ones every day without even looking for them”
Apparently, you were at the game, translation need.😜
I had this one pretty well figured out by the end of the first sentence in the article. Yet, the Democrat/Communist/Left Party thinks — seriously believes — in the old truly-racist joke that if you “throw ‘em a basketball” (at midnight, especially) you’ll have an impact on this vicious behavior.
Thugs are gonna thug.
US blacks are garbage.
I fully support how Leos handle arresting blacks in America.
Painting with a broad brush there, ain’t ye?

No, I didn’t see it...Comment #1 is not there. I just create a link that restarts the Comments. Here’s how...
I go to another thread, click on Reply for the first comment, and right-click copied the web address/embedded link which is...
https://freerepublic.com/perl/post?id=4052880%2C1
This is the link to the very next thread titled “70th annual reindeer cup races held on frozen Lake Inari”
See the “405” number in the link above? There’s a similar unique number embedded in every thread. In this case, here’s the embedded link for the “broken” “Referee” thread:
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4052879/posts
See the 4052879 above...just substitute this number in the link above...like this:
https://freerepublic.com/perl/post?id=4052879%2C1
Then, “Preview”. Previewing makes the link clickable. Click on the link you’ve created, and it brings up a blank comment box IN THE BROKEN THREAD! Then, you can address it to anybody and make a comment. Doing it this way starts up the broken thread Comments at Comment #2.
