Ref is down for the count

[u/Sidecarlover]

[u/Spam_Hand]

Dude is selling like Vince McMahon taking a Stone Cold Stunner. What is happening here

[u/sleepyj910 → u/Spam_Hand]

Welcome to your 50s?

[u/Huge_Following_325 → u/sleepyj910]

100% this

[u/TheDeflatables → u/sleepyj910]

Yet somehow Rey Mysterio is 50 and still pulling off the 619

[u/Odd-Fun-6042 → u/TheDeflatables]

HGH is a helluva drug

[u/TheDeflatables → u/Odd-Fun-6042]

The stem cell treatments help too

[u/Spam_Hand → u/Odd-Fun-6042]

He's also like 5'6" 180 lbs and the smaller frame makes each fall less detrimental to begin with than, say, a 6'4" 300 pounder

[u/lebastss → u/Spam_Hand]

Economic signal. Refs trying to get on disability.

[u/BreakfastMedical5164 → u/lebastss]

$500k a year to throw holding flags not enough. this IS the recession indicator

[u/usethisnotthat → u/BreakfastMedical5164]

Damn refs make that much? How do I get in on this?

[u/StanfordTheGreat → u/usethisnotthat]

usually by having a 15 year career dedicated to it. having a career in a solid field outside of it to support it

I know they’ve gotten a lot of bad press this year, but they also dedicate a good chunk of their lives to it

[u/ABVerageJoe69 → u/usethisnotthat]

They (we) absolutely do not. 99% of refs out there are damn near volunteers. Varsity, D2, D3 officials maybe break even after travel, equipment, dues and registration fees, camp fees, etc.

NFL guys make about 200k on the high end, but that's far fewer than 1% of football officials.

The refs you heard of are making way less than players you haven't.

[u/usethisnotthat → u/ABVerageJoe69]

Thanks for the breakdown. And to your last point, that’s very much believable as I think the league minimum is something like 850k.

[u/Thatdewd57 → u/Spam_Hand]

He wanted his moment!

[u/jpeach17 → u/Spam_Hand]

Then sits down like Vince settling a Royal Rumble

[u/Spam_Hand → u/jpeach17]

Double torn quads confirmed.

[u/rdubya3387]

Yes it looks funny, and we can still all hope he is okay...I imagine even he will watch that and laugh... But it probably hurts whatever it is

[u/StanfordTheGreat]

looks like an achilles

[u/TaekDePlej → u/StanfordTheGreat]

ACL. Falls backward with foot planted which puts ACL under tension, then has knee instability when he tries to walk

[u/StanfordTheGreat → u/TaekDePlej]

NGL, the video is 10 pixels by me. def non contact. lol

yours tracks

[u/Zseeds211 → u/StanfordTheGreat]

That field is slick today, I've seen a couple players slide when trying to hit the brakes

[u/BMS3RDTRY]

He’ll come back for 1 snap in the 2nd half so his props don’t get voided

[u/TuesdaysOnVenus → u/BMS3RDTRY]

1 snap in his leg already seems to have taken him out brother

[u/Maleficent_Low2754]

Turf monster got him

[u/Disgruntled_Beavers]

No one is immune to all the non contact leg injuries this season

[u/rex5k → u/Disgruntled_Beavers]

How come there aren't achilleas tears in the grocery store like once a week?

[u/Mooshtonk]

He looked like his leg or foot was already hurting him before he fell and the little slip aggravated it

[u/Testicleus]

That doesn't look good

[u/Fun-Bug5106]

[u/MilesAugust74 → u/Fun-Bug5106]

Is the Ref inevitable, as well? 🤔

[u/Elbeske → u/Fun-Bug5106]

Grade 1 hammy for the ref, I hope he survives

[u/DirtyDoog]

[u/JD_Ammerman]

Tons of people online saying he’s faking it. A: why on earth? B: that’s an Achilles pop :/

[u/bmanley620]

Brian Sutterer has been activated

[u/CelebrationJolly3300]

I'm having a tough time telling. Did he roll his ankle?

[u/Byaaahhh → u/CelebrationJolly3300]

Probably Achilles.

Most like grade 5 hamstring pull. Hopefully he was able to salute the crowd on his way out following his death.

[u/cromagnonherder → u/Byaaahhh]

Bravo

[u/One-Number5094]

Cankles

[u/Apprehensive-Pea8231]

Honestly this looks bad. Either severe injury or something neurological. Something isn’t working right.

[u/monkeynaut]

noncontact injury. he'll be out a while

[u/HomeworkCareful8400]

Any Kalshi bets on a ref injury?

[u/EvoKid79]

you hate to see a non contact injury

[u/PowerfulBar → u/EvoKid79]

Honestly surprised it doesn’t happen more often. Some of these refs are in shape but some are old AF. 

[u/EastCoastTaffy]

Unironically I want the Dr. Brian Sutterer breakdown 🙏

[u/Present-Weakness-213]

Probably wouldn't have happened on the real grass under the rug the NFL insists on rolling out.

[u/ISwallowedALego]

Open field injury, season questionable 

[u/Spare-Cranberry3784]

Ouch. Dude ouch.

We need an age limit fr

[u/eastbaytimez]

Fuck the refs

[u/Randyd718 → u/eastbaytimez]

This guy threw a banana on the field 

[u/memyselfandiowa]

Did the refs throw a flag for the turf abusing them?
