A video showing an incident between an official and a player during a Texas high school football game surfaced on social media Friday night.
The interaction, which occurred during a matchup between Whitney High and Madison High of Dallas, was filmed by the player’s mother from the stands at Seagoville Stadium in Dallas.
The video shows a Whitney player dropping into pass coverage on defense as Madison’s quarterback scrambles out of the pocket. While attempting to pursue the play on the backside, the defender bumped into the umpire in the middle of the field. After the collision, the official ripped off the player’s helmet and threw a penalty flag on the defender.
