An assistant football coach at John Jay High School in San Antonio this week admitted to ordering two players to tackle the referee to "make him pay." Now that coach is out of a job.
High school football is huge in Texas, and as a result, passions can run high at football games, on and off the field. But, what happened in Marble Falls, just west of Austin, on Friday night is unprecedented and inexcusable.
You may wonder what would motivate the scab officials currently working in the NFL to keep taking the abuse and criticism being heaped upon them. I have the answer.
