“Here’s video of a ref getting gang-jumped” in Sarasota vs. North Port youth football game! via Deadspin:
What you’re about to see is what happened when things got out of hand when the Sarasota Gators faced the North Port Huskies at Riverview High School. It wasn’t so much the Huskies, though. It was pretty much all Gators.
Who would’ve thought North Port wouldn’t be the aggressors?
Key/helpful note from the Herald-Tribune article:
Attacking an athletic official is a felony in Florida.
This pretty much made my day.
One committee member, Rep. Kathleen Passidomo (R-Naples) said she’d read recently a horrible story out of Texas about the rape of a young girl.
“There was an article about an 11 year old girl who was gangraped in Texas by 18 young men because she was dressed like a 21-year-old prostitute,” she said. “And her parents let her attend school like that. And I think it’s incumbent upon us to create some areas where students can be safe in school and show up in proper attire so what happened in Texas doesn’t happen to our students.”
No one commented on that line of reasoning.

Emphasis mine. Snarky objectivity theirs.
