Not sure they are telling the truth. Both kids are scumbags and using their coach as a cop out. If a coach was involved he should be barred from coaching for life. These kids should be barred from playing sports ever again. What losers. Enjoy the criminal charges and civil suits coming from the ref dirtbags!The update, I am sure they were compensated to be on GMA

Action committed / suggested punishment
1. Hit the ref / banned for life and jail
2. Ordered the hit / ban for life
3. Racial slurs / don't believe it & ignore it
Two of them I can understand even though one set of accused are minors under the authority of adults. But I get it and understand.
My question is this. How come nobody believes an old white man in Texas is not capable of doing this? Or is the majority belief here that even if he did u can't prove it and it doesn't matter?

Heel, I've been on the field a lot of years. I can tell you that kids ALWAYS run to their coach and tell him anything that an official says that is perceived as negative in any way. For that reason I feel confident that if this official has said anything inappropriate, the head coach would have been bending the referee's ear.
I believe the asst. coach made the statement regarding the "ref needs to pay." Evidently, he has admitted that he did so. Not a good thing to say but I do not believe he told the players to assault the official. I also believe, as I think most people do that the two players are trying to cover their ass by blaming the asst. coach and the official for their actions.
BTW, Robert Watts is not "an old white man." He's a young professional in his 30's, a graduate of Baylor University and a vice president with the Austin TX Chamber of Commerce. That doesn't make him a saint but it certainly makes him much more credible than two juvenile delinquents that committed aggravated assault.

He will not get a dime
LolYour last sentence was what I was questioning, we are sorry as a society when we start punishing words. If I go into a weight watchers and call of them fat and they get upset is that my fault for explaining the truth? If they stomp me to death with there fat feet how is that my fault?
When?Do you realizes that in the right circumstances you calling someone a juvenile delinquent could be considered a racial slur?
Sorry, I think its somewhat sadistic to bet on a couple of thugs assaulting a man. Go bet someone else.
I NEVER KNEW HEEL YES WAS SUCH AN IDIOTA "Yes Idiota" UNTIL HE ATE THIS THREAD UPShould have bet on how long it would take for you to use a racist term.

You're either very naive or not very bright if you don't think the school district is going to do everything they can to settle the imminent civil suit. They've suspended an employee for his role in the attack. The students have gone on national TV and apologized for what they did, which is an admission of guilt.
Oh yeah, he'll get some dimes. But if it was up to him, he would just as soon wish it never happened.
