My dads been a high school football official here in mo for 45 years this year. The fact that people think most of these officials really care one way or another about the outcome enough to influence anything is wild to me.

There’s a big shortage of officials now because no one wants to do it. Wonder why?

It’s high school football. I’ve been with dad where we’ve had to be escorted out of towns by police because of a basketball game he called.

Assault is assault. Reacting with physical violence is never justifiable under the law unless you're talking about stand-your-ground laws or self defense.

Maybe, in your day but todays kids are coddled a lot more. His feelings were hurt and he was expressing himself. He has a tough life in a single parent home, lives in a bad neighborhood, or just about any excuse that can be made. Times have changed and results will come out differently for this generations youth.

Also, at the 20 year reunion him and his classmates will drunkenly laugh about it.

He'll probably be dead or in jail at that point.

He should have been done after the first offense if it was similar

This guy needs to have the definition of body slam read to him, this is not a body slam.

Wow. Duron got ejected after back to back unsportsmanlikes.


Edinburg’s Emmanuel Duron, a junior at at the South Texas school, was ejected for a late hit and unsportsmanlike penalty against a Pharr-San Juan-Alamo player prior to tackling the official, who was reportedly being monitored for concussion-like symptoms but left the field under his own power. Edinburgh is a Class 6A school about 15 miles north of McAllen.

Andrew McCulloch — via The Monitor, a daily newspaper located in McCallen — reports “Duron and [official] Fred Garcia exchanged words after the play was over, and Garcia ejected Duron from the contest after back-to-back unsportsmanlike penalties on the same play.”

Duron was escorted from Richard R. Flores Stadium by police, according to The Monitor.

Duron is a junior and was named The Monitor’s All-Area Boys Wrestler of the Year award in early 2020. He finished with a 44-8 record, going 4-2 at the state tournament, according to the site.

When asked after the game about the incident, Edinburg head coach JJ Leija told The Monitor he “can’t release any information on that. And I apologize for that. I hope you understand.”

The Monitor also asked the four police officers about the incident, to which they offered no comment saying, “we are not at liberty to talk about that.”

He's a football reporter - not a wrestling reporter.

Heh. No. Some people just have a hard time controlling emotions.

Kid sounds like he's got some real anger issues. Especially since it seems like this isn't his first incident. Would assume that he done playing sports in Texas .

If Last Chance High becomes a thing he's a lock

Because it's a good ol' boy network worsened by the fact coaches grade the officials.

There’s some of that.

Lack of pay and the fact that you have to deal with all the shit you do is much larger.

The coaches grades aren’t nearly weighted as they were at one time
