    This is beyond infuriating. And while not surprising, I am disgusted at those that are making excuses for him because referees are "crooked", "on the take" or perceived as making bad calls.

    The official has a concussion and likely a shoulder injury based on what I've last heard.

    Want to know how stuff like this gets enabled into existence? Check out this quote from Edinburg High head football coach JJ Lejia:
    (Making the playoffs) was one of our goals and it’s tough because we didn’t do anything (as a program) until we got released (to resume practicing) in September,” Lejia said. “I’m just glad to see the look on their faces. … We were picked to finish seventh in our district and now we’re going to the dance. That’s all that matters.
    That's all that matters? His team wins and they make it to the playoffs after one of their guys does something like this and "That's all that matters"!?! How the bloody hell could those words come out of the mouth of that coach? I invite that idiot to get on a fast horse and ride it straight to hell. The example he's setting for his players is, at best, incompetent. In reality, it's much worse.
    And the stupidity seems to be widespread down there. The local newspaper headline refers to the team advancing under these conditions as "Bittersweet"? WTF? What's wrong with that player, that coach, that program, that school, that paper, that town?

    These are the times that make me very, very happy that I moved out of the "small-town-Texas, HS-football-is-our-religion" hell-hole I grew up in.

    ETA: At least there's a little justice happening. That winning team has now forfeited their playoff spot.

    In my day, the HC would have yanked the kid off the round by his facemask (or shoulder pads if no helmet on), explained things to him in no uncertain terms and kicked his butt all the way back to the locker room. Then told him to clear out his locker.

    The district forfeited That game. Team is no longer in the playoffs in spite of the win.
