- The win for the Edinburg High Bobcats did not come without controversy after their star defensive player was escorted from the game for attacking a referee.
Blindsides a ref and then runs away. Class act.
Let's call it what it was. Blindsided? No, premeditated assault. Let the courts and legal system work out his future if there is one.
His father must be proud of his litte COWARD!!
He is a coward
That's a coward!
Typical character from his age group tbh
When people display this kind of reckless behavior in full public view you can only imagine how unhinged they are behind closed doors
Some people just get too competitive
@@CeZealot this isn’t about being competitive that person will abuse someone someday. Scared for the family he might have. He gets angry and body slams or tackles someone? Yeah what a big man
But girls love it.
Where are his parents???? I lives with my cousins
@@jamestripp239congratulations I guess?
i just googled this kid’s name… a year or two later, he was found by cops sleeping in his car and was found with six grams of coke in various bags and was charged with felony distribution of a controlled substance. What a stellar young man
That’s the referee’s fault, I’m sure.
like most american kids
Did it say what the outcome of this incident was?
@@carlozabbia1157Well to start after this incident his school ended up winning the game to get into the playoffs and then a few days after this happened the school district decided to forfeit the teams spot in the playoffs despite protests from the seniors on the team. Additionally the school district also hit his school with a 3-4 year athletic probation across all sports. Pretty much this means that if someone else from this school does a similar thing in any sport then that specific team will be forced to shut their program down for the year. This guy was banned from all high school sports for the rest of the season (which sucks cause he was a senior who had offers for both football and wrestling) and caught an assault charge.
@@carlozabbia1157correction it was a 2 year probation
I worked football for 30 years and any player that attacked me like that would have been arrested and I would have flied charges. There is no excuse for this... None at all..
Of course you would. I know people like you that got picked on in school then joined the military and tried to tell people what to do. Then pulled rank when no one took you seriously. Stands to reason you would do that same shit as a ref.
Never got picked on in school - no one would dare - never joined the military - A college athlete tried something like that on me many years ago and all I had to do was to brace, he hit me, he got hurt, he never played football at that college ever again , and finally he got suspended for a semester all of this for his breaking of one rule. Besides I would never associate with a weenie like you.@@travistweedle9674

@@jeremymarks8228 yeah I really feel bad for the team. Once their done feeling hurt, they’re gone be POd
Win as a team lose as a team. Maybe this will teach the team to not tolerate little shits like this on the team next year.
The University of Miami would still take him.
Better have one hell of a lawyer to get away with that minimum these days
So let me get my head around this....for having a little temper tantrum, he's managed in 30 seconds to get a criminal record, probably banned for life and destroyed the season for the rest of the team. What a tool.
Ain't getting charged for s*** you can't charge them for anything it's part of being a ref
He should have hit him harder lol
Yep
@@dragons0220032002ify might want to re think that. He actually got a felony for that. Look it up
@@dragons0220032002ify Getting physically assaulted isn't part of being a ref. It's kind of the whole idea that ref's aren't supposed to be touched intentionally, let alone when the game is paused and no one is playing

Duron was a star senior defensive lineman for the Edinburg Bobcats during the season. Video of the incident went viral as Duron was arrested and charged with assault. The Edinburg school district forfeited the team's place in the playoffs and Duron was banned from competing in high school sports after the incident.Mar 23, 2022
Thanks for the info.
They were playing football in March?
It's unfortunate that his teammates have to pay for his behavior.
Except this was posted three years ago.
The dumbass became a meme 😂
Twenty years later and he'll still be blaming that referee for ruining his life!
He is just misunderstood. Look how that mean ol' ref made him act. Poor kid needs a cuddle.
@@blauskie He'll be cuddled in prison
From his prison cell.
Just hope he doesn't drop the soap
@@NikkoOnRoblox Prison assault investigator: "It looks as if someone cut the rope on the soap."
This is what happens when children don't learn to respect others.
most likely he's on roids. he's a definite brand risk and should start hitting the books otherwise his only occupation after college is a bouncer at some bar.
@@kingnickysky Maybe no father at home to teach him?
Also what happens when adults don't learn to respect children.
This is also what happens when an adult doesn’t know how to defuse a situation and not take things personal. The body language of the referee was wrong too. Kids are fed up with adults acting high and mighty.
Adults don't respect others too.
Because he could not control his temper he will never play another down in ANY formalized football game (or any other sport for that matter). I hope he is prosecuted and expelled as well. A clear and strong message needs to be sent.
If the punishment doesn’t fit the crime you can expect to see more of this type of action in the future. Shame on that player, his coach and his parents.
Charging an old man while wearing full football pads is kinda a little man move
Kinda?
@@richardmartel1869 ?adniK
Sissy
The player might even be illigetimate.
Yeah overall penalty. Dude destroyed his whole life
If that’s how that young man reacts to authority on the field, how will he behave as a grown man on the street?
@Eric Elsinger This isn’t about some other community, and is not relavent at all, so why even bring it up?
The appropriate focus should be on THIS kids behavior and on concern for the victims well being. Nothing more, nothing less.
You already know.
@@LA_Commander i like how people resort to a gun..
@Eric Elsinger I really doubt that, it hasn't changed that much, if he were black he would have been beat and handcuffed sent to jail immediately
@@LA_Commander ammo is to expensive to waste on a bum😎
can you imagine this young man behind the wheel of a car when things don't go his way?
This is what happens in a society that puts so much emphasis on winning in all levels of sports ! They should stress that winning is important only if it is done in the confines of the rules , that you learn from your mistakes and that good sportsmanship is important .
that player doesn't realize how weak he made himself look in front of everybody
@Kee Ozzie. So true.
Btw
The kid made his entire athletic program for the home town to withdraw from every sport for the next 2 years
@@stanleyvasquez9332 Really? What's your source for that? I can't find it on Google. All I see is the program was put on probation.
@@stanleyvasquez9332 that's way overboard. i can see permanently banning the kid from all high school athletics, but why would the school's sports program be held responsible?
@@toddinthemiddle yea ik it's overboard but the kid was a senior and it's just like wow , didn't ever want that to happen
He was charged with assault and arrested this afternoon.
Good what a loser
Hopefully a felony since he was wearing his football gear !
Not a shocker. His kind can’t control their tempers.
@@boogitybear2283 as in mankind? Humans.
Excellent!!
Should be banned from any sports period, charged with assaulting an aged man
You can tell by the way the other players around him try and keep him "in check" knowing how he can fly off the handle. I hope the ref is ok. He literally, blindsided literally knocked him silly,
He apparently slapped a red card out of an official's hand while playing soccer earlier in the year, then shoved the official. Ticking time bomb.
He didn't "apparently" do that. He did it!
I hope the punishment will be he will never play sports again not football not soccer not nothing! His parents did not teach him respect! Parents you got to do better!
He did not play soccer.
He don't gaf 😂😂
@@upabittoolate "Duron also played soccer for the school but, according to The Monitor, he was suspended for the remainder of the 2019-20 soccer season after a “similar incident” ", this was on the Forbes website.
He should never be allowed to play another High School game, ever, nor should he be allowed to enter college play without considerations. This type of behavior MUST stop and have severe repercussions, severe.
I suspect it will. He will be a “regular” jails and prisons.
Man pushed one guy and y’all automatically think he’s destined for prison and jail I tell you what I’ve seen a lot of people a lot worse on the streets then somebody who’s playing sports in high school pushing a referee
@@bigboar8678 This wasn’t the streets, this was a HS FB game/player and there are lines that you don’t cross. No excuses, no post game apologies, none of that BS.
@@bigboar8678 He did not just “push one man.” He clocked him, and he slapped a card out of his soccer coaches hand earlier. The kid has a big issue. Clearly has a problem with authority. This kid will assault the wrong person some day.
@@bigboar8678 pushed??? full force with his body is more than a "push". you'd be blowing smoke a different direction if it was a white kid smashing a black ref to the ground.
This player should be cut from the team and should face assault charges. That was a crime.
Why are bullies also always such cowards. My god.
Update-Student was criminally charged and school district withdrew team from playoffs.
What a shame for the rest of the team as well.
That sucks for the team ..thanks
Did they fire the coach? They need a better wrangler.
@@waterhead1027 Coach doesn't control the mental stability of his players. Spoiled brats tend to attack those who deal punishment to them.
If this were the first time the young "man" committed an egregious act of poor sportsmanship, I'd say to punish him and him alone, while letting the team move forward.
But according to an article in Forbes magazine, this individual was kicked off the school soccer team last year for a similar incident.
To me, that means it's now time to punish the school administrators, and the simplest way to do it is to disqualify the entire football team from competition -- this solution is not fair to the kids who abided by the rules, but there aren't too many other ways to underscore the idea, "administrators need to do the right thing or the school will pay a heavy price." Angry parents should be told to direct their wrath at the football coach, school principal and whomever else knew this kid's history and rolled the dice on him.

Lemme guess, hes a fine young man who would never do anything like this if the ref hadn't taunted him.
👍😂
And if the ref had "taunted" him proper procedure for a student is to TAKE IT TO YOUR COACH & NOTHING ELSE! Let the adults in charge handle it! He should be banned from all school sports for the year.
Gentle giant
I would maybe do the same if I got taunted by a ref but the kid did what you do vicious mean and playing good but I still I wouldn't blame him for attacking the ref -_-
@@jaxxja3814 so you would do the same??? maybe you two animals can share the same prison cell.
He should have been escorted to jail. The ref should press charges.
The reporting left out the police report stating that the player was arrested for assault.
as usual MSM is pointless and time wasting and leaves out critical details
He didn't lose control , He's probably spoiled and always getting His way
Well the team is from the border area between Mexico and us and there’s a pretty decent amount of people under poverty in that area
@@Aa-fm4fb what's your point? You dont have to have money to spoil your kids rotten by letting them get away with everything and not giving them limits or consequences.
He's 18 and only a junior? That's ridiculous. He's a grown man playing with boys.
Not really. If hes a junior and 18 then he was held back a grade. 18 is far from being a grown man on top of that, ffs.
@@breeze7464 how does that even work putting 18 year old in the same class with underage students
@@darthmagavader9722 uhhh... you do realise that when you graduate as a senior in american high school that you are 18 right? Tf is wrong with you?
ln Texas, students enter school at 6 years old, so an 18 year old junior is normal.
@@gordongardyko4702 so texans dont graduate until they're 19?
88 "Escorted" out of the stadium? Your reporter said.... He should have been in handcuffs and escorted between two policemen. Then sent to Juvenile detention. Charge him with assault and battery and end his football career in Texas.
I hope the Ref recovers and has a good lawyer and the family has lots of money so he can get a good settlement from them.
There is NO EXCUSE for this type of behavior.
ABC7 Newscaster says the football player "lost his emotions," like they are already pinning the side of the attacker, like this was the Ref's fault. Ya'll need to quit taking up for these "Out-of-control" kids! NO EXCUSE for this. I coached for 32 years, I ALWAYS knew my players well enough to put an assistant with a kid during an ejection (which happened only once, and the wrestler was DONE! GONE from the gym. DONE from the TEAM!
NO EXCUSES! Maybe have the kid checked for PED's!
Don’t think they expect that behavior at any level
His parents will defend him, citing the ref hurt his feelings.
Yep, stand by for the race card to be played. This animal should go straight to jail for that attack.

Hats off to the players protecting the ref
he not a star anymore...... he just ended his own career before he even had one.........
Sadly, this is what will make him known. Oh your that player that hit the ref?
I coached High School football, after that I refereed football, the action of that young man is appalling and very sad at the same time! I always told my players you win with honor and loss with honor! Unfortunately it appears honor is leaving our society!
Not when Americans play rugby it hasn't which is a lot harder and more physical. They show and are given respect on and off the field.
Its the sport of American Football itself, the big money, the coached aggression and the way its played that gives out the wrong messages to these young idiots.
liberal idels at thair finest at its finest
Refereeing is getting appalling itself as well in the past years. It’s genuinely sad. All sports are going down hill with bad calls and in return more aggression from audiences and players. It’s literally a circle which is going to lead to some real bad stuff in the future
You clearly never made it in academics. "You loss with honor?"
@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303 irony

You raised a thug.

No he will go pro. They recruit model citizens
@James Harris truth ain't racist though. Stats are against us: 70% growing up outside parents of wedlock. Fathers going running, moms dropping kids off to strangers.

@@jeffw1267 definitely. No more no less.
Yeah. I’m guessing charges are forthcoming, as well as a civil lawsuit from the referee. Ridiculous.
Well UIL has zero tolerance policy for tackling/debating against referee. Because I think that’s an automatic disqualification. As for this football player, maybe next season he starts of with a 3 game suspension.
This player just got charged with assault. Now it goes without saying the head coach needs to come out and address this.

@Christian Shesler restitution is almost always included in the criminal trial as well.
Aru B i wouldnt say bad parenting because at a certain age a kid..a damn teenager knows right from wrong.He showed lack of respect for a ref,himself and his whole damn family.
Don’t go blaming people you know nothing about. I know amazing parent’s who’s kids go off track. Ever heard of free will?
Ahhhh...it is called, “accepting and assuming responsibility” and not put the blame on ion someone else’s back. He is old enough to know better and should be AN adult to accept and assume responsibility
I just read an article yesterday with regards to this type of activity. Between the high school parents, and these type of players thousands of referees have stopped calling games. They just don’t get paid enough for this bullshit.

A good lesson of what never, ever to do for every other athlete. He is the “chosen asshole.” Too bad the entire team has to pay for his stupidity. I hope the ref recovers fully.

He went on to star his freshman year in college on a full scholarship. Then Bud Light made him their spokesman and he changed his name to Dylan Mulvaney. But that didn't last. He went to work for Target last I heard.
A lifetime ban from organized sports.
This kind of behavior has been reinforced through out his sports history. You can bet this isn't his first time doing something like this. His coaches along with the school administration is guilty of allowing this thug on their sports fields. WHY? because he helps them win games when not being a thug. From the first moment he did anything like this he should have been suspended. And suspended long enough to get his attention. It should have never gotten this far.
He’s definitely not going to make a far in sports with that attitude.
