SARASOTA --
The video is simply shocking.

A woman's voice can be heard in the video as she screams, "Oh my God," when a referee fighting with a coach is tackled in full sprint by a young football player.

The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office is investigating the fight turned riot when coaches and a referee began to throw punches after the referee calls the game.

The incident involved the Sarasota Gators and North Port Huskies during a game on Saturday afternoon at Riverview High School in Sarasota.

Several men along the sidelines with the Sarasota Gators get verbally and physically agitated with the referee. One of the men dressed as a couch follows the referee as he leaves the field.

The camera leaves the two for a moment. Suddenly, other coaches begin sprinting toward a scuffle.

The woman's voice on the recording yells, "Oh, my God!"

A man shouts through the public announcement system for people to get back.

Adults converge on the referee who is still on the ground and start kicking him after he is driven to the ground by a the Sarasota Gators' #6.

The referee eventually makes his way to his feet and runs off the field.

Another man gets stomped at the bottom of a pile as a riot ensues. The riot lasts several minutes.

Soon after, the crowd calmed and stood in a large group for several minutes until dispersing to their respective sides.

Sarasota County Sheriff's officials said an investigation is ongoing and charges will likely be filed.

No person involved in the melee has been identified yet by authorities.

Under state law, battering a referee is a felony.

    How unusual ... a fight at a football game ... YAWN

    It's almost as if a game that extols violence attracts folk who have violent tendencies ... isn't that surprising ... LOL

    I was shocked, shocked that it was not at a pee-wee football game. What was that, Police Athletic League?

    It's not politically correct to point out the color of the thugs? That's typical behavior of that type of crowd when things don't go their way. We will always have this type of behavior until we are allowed to point out the "neighborhood" it's born in.

    CNN is now reporting that the ref had earlier taunted a star player.

    Luckily, it was caught on video:

    Nice tackle at 34 seconds! That kid should be banned from any athletic programs and expelled from school. Nice example coaches...

    Pretty bad judgement/transparent of the paper to use the term 'riot'. It's a brawl, scuffle, etc. Say what you want but there's some pretty clear connotations between the term used and the color of the skin of most involved.

    Where the crook Shelala refused to look at the video but was sure her players did nothing wrong?

    I'm sure that player can head to Miami.. They're short cheating thugs for a few games.

    Come on, just like pitbulls are not all bad, these poor black guys were just misunderstood. They don't all charge the field......only the ones close enough did. Freaking savages, it is too bad this was not a high school game so the state athletic board could take the eligibility away from each and everyone of them.

    Kind of on the same note, I got a warning for speeding a couple of weeks ago in Charlotte county. I just happened to look at it last night before I tossed it out. On the ticket/warning in the Ethnicity category there are only 2 choices......Hispanic and Non-Hispanic!! I see this one of two ways, either the Hispanics are taking over the world (not far from true by numbers), or we as a nation have become so politically correct that we have cut of our legs at the knee. Non-Hispanic apparently includes, white, Asian, Eskimo, black....
    "All units please be advised, the suspect is approximately 6', dark hair and eyes, non-Hispanic" That narrows it down. I guess the 6' description eliminates the Eskimo's and Asian's for the most part, but it sure leaves a whole lot of black and white guys fitting the description.

    The league were my sons play tossed out the 15 and 16 year old age group a couple of years ago.The reason being was the majority of the 15 & 16 year old's were not allowed to play on their high school football team either because of behavioral problems or grades. Since eliminating that age group we have had less fights both on the field and in the crowds.A huge improvement.

    All the players in that video look to be in that age group.

    I've heard by 2030 something, Hispanics willl be the majority.
