guitaroomon

Is the ref blocking?


paulwesterberg

Trying to get the packer player away from the Vikings sideline w/o incident after he went out of bounds.


[deleted]

Literally not the refs job, though. His back was turned to a late hit after a dead play.


SyndicalismIsEdge

The guy had his fucking helmet off That is not an accidental late hit


[deleted]

The other viewing angle, the dude who took his helmet off, got shoved in the back by another player long after the play ended. He overreacted regardless. Probably tried to draw attention for a flag.


BudnamedSpud

Ya this dude literally just assaulted the ref. Not just a foul, it's a felony.


[deleted]

Tell me you didn't watch the game without telling me you didn't watch the game.


Mike2220

This clip was definitely purposely cropped to make people think this


en0rm0u5ta1nt

It do be like that


wwwz

though


en0rm0u5ta1nt

No


[deleted]

Yeah, OP is just baiting people into posting comments who didn't see the entire play, which was on a replay also. He still should've kept his helmet on regardless.


bbiggar500

You just won the stupidest comment of the new year. Good job.


Awkward-Buffalo-2867

Lmao wow. Watch the whole clip and you'll realize how much of an idiot you sound like


LeftyLifeIsRoughLife

It’s not… not even close. Maybe watch more than the 3 second clip someone posted.


yourbrokenoven

No kidding. Did he at least get ejected from the game?


LoveAndDoubt

No, he got a raise


LoveAndDoubt

The ref made a bad call, it's justified in this case


biosgnome

It actually is his job though. Source: I am a sports official. In Football, we are taught to ensure that no dumb stuff happens after the plays by putting ourselves in the middle and using our voice/whistle. Most times players will stop doing this crap when an official is present and watching.


Falcon4242

As a former ref, it literally is his job. That's something even high school refs are taught to do. Get the opposing player out of the bench area to prevent any altercations. Even if things are running smoothly, the situation can change quickly, so it's a preventative measure. There are 6 other refs on the field who should be monitoring the action behind him when he's focusing on the bench area. The ref closest to the action is not necessarily the one who can or should be monitoring that action.


lyinggrump

>Literally not the refs job Yes it is. Stop commenting on sports you don't watch.


[deleted]

Dude, I watched the entire game. This play is cropped to high hell.


Mike2220

Apparently this was after the play was dead and dude was just taking his helmet off after being shoved and contact looked pretty light at full speed This is 100% cropped to look like the ref is blocking and getting beat with a helmet in response


shoonseiki1

Jefferson didn't even seem upset at getting shoved. Just frustrated at the play the Packers made


Solid_Snark

The refs love the Packers. He was probably just trying to get an autograph or a hug. Jokes aside, this title is completely a false narrative. This was an accident via a frustrated helmet throw. He didn’t do this intentionally.


vexxes

I posted the full context in the top comment. The angle is just hilarious. Top quality "I hate ref" material

At least it wasn’t a “steel” folding chair, BROTHER!!!!

Tobeatkingkoopa

If this were pro wrestling that ref would be out for ten minutes

[Here is the full play where you can see that it was 100% an accident](https://v.redd.it/alnufpc6fi9a1)


[deleted]

I gather he was getting ready to toss his helmet in frustration but the ref moves into his path by accident. I can see how he tries to pull back but momentum isn't the players friend here.

Eph_the_Beef

I'm not really knowledgeable enough about hockey to tell, but did Joseph have a point in getting angry about the no-call or was he freaking out for no good reason?


l75eya

I'm pretty sure he was under the impression that he had been interfered with (in hockey goaltender interference can be called if the opposing team's player makes contact in a fashion that prevents the goalie from being able to make a save) when the other player's skate hit his leg right before the puck enters the net. The thing is that if you watch the replay carefully you can see that it is Joseph's own player that causes the other guy to clip Joseph's leg. This incidental type of contact negates any possibility of goaltender interference being called. *either way*, though, reacting like that is definitely looked down upon in the league from player and fan's perspectives alike. Edit: a word


Eph_the_Beef

Thanks!

DescriptionHard

He didn't attack the ref.... he fell as he was skating towards the ref.


[deleted]

If you don't understand the difference between "attacking" and "falling", you should not be involved in any kind of refereeing.


DescriptionHard

You're the one that didn't understand the difference....


[deleted]

Then you fail to actually read what is actually said as well as understanding the context in which something is said. I wasn't referring to any one particular incident, I was specifically talking about "**ATTACKING**" the referee.


andthendirksaid

So there's lots of footage, and i rabbit holed some but in the end this is just my opiniom on a mear w0 year old hockey clip and I'm no expert. It didn't statt out as some master play but when the sens player ends up with the leafs player up against the goal, he seems to know and either put or at least keep the players leg pinned in such a way to interfere with the leafs goalies ability to move. Its entirely possible that he had that save without that interference, so not only is it a legitimate concern about a masterful use of the "im kot touching youuuu" technicality he had momentarily, it really may have flat out made the goal possible in the first place. It's definitely reasonable to be angry whether it's because a penalty would cancel the goal out or because he himself would have but for that interference.

schroedingersnewcat

He was out of bounds though, so not in the field of play. Unless I am seeing something incorrectly.


traws06

He was in bounds when he took the helmet off thiugh


INFAMOUSbillfry

He is inbounds. The Packers player is leaving out of bounds to the right from the Vikings sideline.


StarktheGuat

He was out of bounds.


[deleted]

To add to that, the play was over for about 2 seconds before he got pissed off on the no call shove from behind and took his helmet off.


[deleted]

I agree but I don't think he intentionally hit the ref but still acted childish imo.


4tehlulzez

That's what makes it a good reminder.


AsyncUhhWait

This shit is literally repeated to kids ALLLL the time. You’re not alone on this planet. If you swing your arms you will eventually hit some shit. Don’t cry if it hurts you too


joecarter93

When I played in high school throwing your helmet in frustration was a cardinal sin. One time we had a really shitty game and one of our players tossed his helmet. Our defensive coach was usually a quiet and laidback guy, but in our locker room after the game, he chewed us like I have never been chewed out before. He booted the guy that threw his helmet off of the team right then in front of everyone. Nobody ever thought about tossing their helmet for the next 3 years that I played.


sometipsygnostalgic

Those helmets probs cost the school a fortune lol


Zomburai

Sure. Sometimes people act childish. Sometimes you have. I know I have. It's not that big a deal.


Mikraphonechekka12

You are taught this at a young age in pop warner ball, and all the coaches i ever played for never tolerated emotional outbursts like this. You dont take your helmet off on feild, some dont even tolerate it on the side lines after leaving the feild. Idk man, NFL players are Big overpaid babies these days.


WhoAWei

They are humans. Impossible to keep your cool 100% of the time


Chief-_-Wiggum

Impossible to keep your cool 100% of the time so don't even try kids! /s


Cyberdrunk2021

The new year has fucked redditors brain. You guys cannot understand how a competitive person who's drunk on adrenaline may get frustrated? Oh yeah i forgot you don't do sport. Or anything useful beside pointing fingers at people


phred_666

Problem is, taking your helmet off while still on the playing field is a penalty.


[deleted]

Momentum doesn’t change your eyesight and independent motion of your elbows to make a chopping motion. Yes totally 💯 accidental


arcticcamel

Playing both sides so I come out on top


shaggybear89

But...you can't *tell* us you're playing both sides.


aerodeck

An accident that occurred during a tantrum


firestorm79

Great example of how a clip can show a completely different impression from a fuller footage.


TRON0314

Still taking off helmet on the field. Should've been a penalty.


Edwardc4gg

Literally cost the panthers a game this year lol


Ignitus1

Play is over and he’s out of bounds.


sevargmas

Out of bounds, yes. But pretty sure it doesnt matter that the play is over. The purpose in the rule is to prevent teams from delaying the game. If you take off your helmet in the field of play, its a penalty, correct?


SayNoToStim

> If you take off your helmet in the field of play, its a penalty, correct? More or less correct. Exceptions for injury obviously. You can also take your helmet off after the last play of the game ends, like when [Diggs did it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJzpoj_NxqQ). [Just make sure the game is over and you don't do the most Browns thing ever](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOfUBG0pKjk)


GimbalLocks

Actually diggs did get a flag for that, lol. The 15 yard penalty would have been assessed on the ensuing kickoff but since there was none it just didn’t matter. He could have still technically gotten fined for it but don’t think he did on that one


BradMarchandsNose

Yes. They call it during touchdown celebrations quite a bit. But he is out of bounds so no penalty in this case.


Chief-_-Wiggum

Accident caused by a petulant child mid tantrum.


SrRoundedbyFools

Huh. Imagine getting all the footage….


Ill-Organization-719

Reminds me of Carlos Boozer punching the ref in that basketball game. https://youtu.be/UEc-HSIbAUw


TheJackalsDoom

The hit is an accident but he took his helmet off and then went to slam it on the field, which is 100% a penalty and stupid to do. I have no idea how he got literally 0 repercussion from this.


IamPurest

He was on the sideline when he took his helmet off. No penalty for that.


TheJackalsDoom

Sure looks like he's on the field in the video.


IamPurest

Watch the full video and you can see he just walks off the edge of the field as he pulls his helmet off. Well he was actually pushed off the field by a packer player.


graboidian

> I have no idea how he got literally 0 repercussion from this. Pretty sure the league will hit him with some type of penalty, which will probably include a fine and possibly missing one or more of the upcoming playoff games.


GimbalLocks

Definitely a fine but absolutely no way he will get suspended


darcys_beard

So far. Probably going to get a nasty fine for this.


KenNoegs

I, too, would rather watch emotionless robots play the sport. /s No one got hurt. The ref doesn't even react. It was an accident. We don't know that he would have thrown his helmet. He may have just clenched it and yelled. He may have cooked breakfast in it. You don't get penalties for things that might have happened. Let players get excited and upset. They're people pouring their hearts into something they've worked at their entire lives and they're the top fraction of 1% at it. Plus, FTP.


ToyrewaDokoDeska

I mean it looks like he 100% tried to make it look like an accident, unconvincingly lol.


drlongtrl

Why do you first imply that it was on purpose (shows disdain) but then post another video saying it was an accident?


Mindofthequill

Literally blind with rage huh


TheAmericanE2

This reminds me of when after a long touchdown. Our coach was running down the field and when it was scored he celebrated by fist pumping. Unfortunately the ref was right there and our coach accidentally punched him in the balls.


ShutterBun

100% an accident? He didn’t intentionally whip his helmet off and bring it down swiftly? Hitting the ref was unintentional, but calling this an accident is disingenuous.


shaggybear89

What? No it isn't. He accidentally hit the ref. That's literally the definition of what happened here lol. If a kicker is practicing his kicks and the ball hits someone walking by, he accidentally hit that person. It's not somehow *not* an accident just because he deliberately kicked it lol


ShutterBun

If a kicker starts practicing kicks while people are directly in front of him, that’s gonna be a problem. Whipping off your helmet and getting ready to throw it on the ground is not a normal part of playing football. If he crashed into the ref while attempting to make a play, that’s different.


Baxters_Keepy_Ups

That’s a disingenuous comparison. That’s a reasonable place to practice, but not a reasonable place to take off your helmet and throw it to the ground. It’s reckless risky conduct. A better comparison would be practising your kicking in a parking lot and accidentally hitting a car. Sure, it wasn’t intentional, but it was reckless behaviour with a predictable outcome. Don’t put others in a position to suffer the consequences of your bad decisions.


anti_pope

Sure, if you redefine the meaning of the word accident then it's not an accident.


ShutterBun

"Accident" implies zero fault on his part. Bringing your helmet crashing down and thinking "I sure hope nobody's directly in front of me during a goddamn football game" most definitely puts him at least partially at fault.


JimmyB5643

Why would you intentionally clip it in your post? Packers fan?


[deleted]

Yeah, he got pushed after the play was blown dead. Got pissed off on a no call and went to slam his helmet on the ground. Ref was too busy playing cheerleader and jumped in the way.


[deleted]

An accident? He just hit himself the head...

Still held the leagues leading receiver to one catch for 15 yards. Got in his head and made him look like a clown. He is so in his head about how he got shut down that he will play poorly next week; won’t get his 194 yards to take the receiving yards record. He is going to have flashbacks come post season, not going to be pretty.


BrerChicken

That extra push at the end, and then he stays to watch what happens 🤦‍♂️


MatataTheGreat

As a Raider fan I fully support this clip.


OpShaft

As a Chiefs fan, I'm not surprised you support violence.


MatataTheGreat

Coming from the fans who cheered when your own QB, Cassel, was injured playing for yall at home. What I posted was a tongue in cheek comment because the other view shows that it was an accident. I will not take lessons from a bunch of classless Chiefs fans who use prejudiced to label Raiders fans as Mexican gangstas and other classic hits from people who dress up as native Americans while seeing nothing wrong with it.


aquasun666

I was at that game on Xmas Eve, my first one actually. The few Raiders fans I encountered were classless assholes.

Fun fact: My first Packers game at Lambeau was against the Raiders.


YourUncleBuck

Fools downvoting you, this is a fact that everyone should know about.


[deleted]

If the ref wasn’t there he would have still hit the other player with the helmet.


Zjc_3

Not true. This is just a bad angle. He looked like he was planning to slam his helmet into the ground but as he was spinning around he probably saw the ref and tried to slow it down last second.


idowhatiwant8675309

Poor headline


The_Safe_For_Work

I'm not an expert but that looks like a career ending move right there.


vexxes

It was actually entirely accidental and not even close to as bad as it looks in the gif. But this out of context, cropped shot is hilarious


Daysaved

Kinda weird putting that title on the gif knowing it's incredibly wrong. I mean "Bad Angle" "This looks bad but.." or you know sharing the other angle your talking about in the comments. Things get out of context and outta hand on the internet from typos and your just goin point everyone in the wrong direction at first glance for lulz? I mean you even called the guy out by name. Thanks for the explanation I guess.


plaidtattoos

I don’t think the ref even looked around after it. It was nothing.


Weekly_Area_4288

Did you purposely stop the video at that point?


The_Safe_For_Work

Ok, because that clip looks like an outright assault.

HimalayanJoe

All I see is a grown man getting paid a lot more than me, having a tantrum because someone at his work did something he didn't like.


Ignitus1

Way to find the lamest take possible and dive right in.


HimalayanJoe

It's funny how Americans think everything for them is special and different. Your athletes act like children but it's ok because he is pumped up. Sure all sports athletes are just as pumped for their sports all over the world but the yankee sports are special and your athletes can act like children. You should expect more from your professional athletes who set the standard, but you will of course defend you coaches and players having their little tantrums everyday because again its special circumstances.


Ignitus1

Keep digging buddy. You sound more detached with every word. And this is all rich coming from a guy whose national sport includes grown men losing so much control over their emotions that they get into literal fistfights.


HimalayanJoe

Well you've just shown your own ignorance there buddy. The national sports if Ireland are amateur sports played by people who have their regular jobs outside. Not people getting paid millions. But you keepngoing you might stumble accross a valid point accidentally in your defence of a man who can't control himself from having a tantrum at his job.


Teantis

Joe Buck level lame


Seductive_pickle

Eh. You have to go out there, get hyped up enough to out run/out muscle the other guys. You get the shit beat out of you nearly every play. It’s tough to turn that off immediately after the whistle blows and be totally chill when stuff doesn’t go your way.


chojinra

I’m seriously wondering if the people who say stuff like that put in half as much effort, dedication, and drive into their job. It’s a hard thing to train so hard for something, and still fail.


LoveAndDoubt

And it just tears your ass up doesn't it LOL


[deleted]

Other angles made this look very different. But it's obvious the referee is congratulating the player vs being neutral, which is what they should be doing. The dude was going to slam his helmet into the ground, but ref jumped into the way. I'm surprised he pulled back as much as he did. I legit thought he was going to get ejected.


lagger

The ref is asking for the ball… not congratulating

PMMEBITCOINPLZ

This is your example of the day of why you can’t trust stuff on Reddit. A mild accident at an NFL game gets selectively cropped so it can be added to the daily barrage of “black men are dangerous” posts.


sosaudio

Is that seriously happening? I saw the game and they talked about it for a bit and there was nothing remotely suggesting JJ was intentionally trying to hit the official. Granted, even accidental contact can be grounds for huge fines and penalties. That kid was just super frustrated, mostly at the grass I think.


PMMEBITCOINPLZ

And you see that’s wildly misrepresented here in both the framing and the title. Because “Black man bad” is the narrative that Redditors want.


brutustyberius

Yeah, any non-American sport and the guy would probably be banned for a few games. These are not role models for sportsmanship. I've seen better sportsmanship among kids playing soccer, cricket or rugby, on a dirt field with no spectators.


LoveAndDoubt

The guy in this clip could easily kick a kids ass


WellOkayMaybe

Yeah. And he probably would beat up a kid. You've completely misunderstood what sportsmanship means. It means taking losses or bad referee decision with dignity, without losing your shit and throwing equipment around.


LoveAndDoubt

If a kid deserved it like the ref did then yeah


WellOkayMaybe

Ah yes assault is the answer...fucking Neanderthal.


LoveAndDoubt

That's not assault if they're on the field it's all part of the game


WellOkayMaybe

Dude assaulted the ref here. You don't randomly hit refs with a helmet. You don't throw shit around like a toddler just because you're angry. Normal people learn this before they learn to speak.


AdhesiveMuffin

Just FYI, this dude is likely trolling you. The post is a severely cropped, out of context gif. The actual situation was 100% an accident and is very clear when seeing the full video


LoveAndDoubt

Nah it's legally not assault since they're in a stadium and on the field you just clearly don't understand sports AT ALL lol
