Many of us have heard or read about the events that have lead Northside Independent School District to look into a play in which two John Jay High School defensive players hit a ref with about a minute left during a 15-9 loss to Marble Falls.

Here's a little lead in from Fox Sports before you click play on the video:

"Before the start of the play, the two players are positioned several yards behind the referee, who has his back turned to the players and is focused on the play. Once the play begins, one of the players, wearing No. 12, runs at full speed into the back of the ref, tackling him to the ground. As that player gets off the referee, the other player runs in and jumps on top."

We all understand that football is a contact sport and has a certain degree of danger built-in for those who choose to suit up and play the game but what happened here goes far beyond what we've come to expect from the gridiron.

The video doesn't leave much for interpretation but what do you guys see here?
