Reporting Justin Pawlowski

We’ve all imagined what it would be like to retaliate against a referee who has one of their numerous bad calls, but few of us truly follow through on that action.

A youth football assistant coach in Broward county has done just that. As seen in the video below, this youth football assistant coach slapped a referee (FGU) so hard that he fell to the ground.

In this video, you’ll notice an argument between the referee and the coaching staff from one team.  As the argument comes to its conclusion, the members of the opposing team run to the sideline saying that the game was a forfeit.  As the teams were lining up to shake hands, tell each other “good game,” or chant “2-4-6-8 who do we appreciate,” the assistant coach unloads the slap heard ’round the world.

You have to watch the video.
