Good luck with your non-rugby career now, buddy.
Referees, regardless of how you feel about their calls, are just there to call the game as fair as they can, and they aren’t there to become part of the action. Well asshole of the month, Italian rugby player Bruno Andres Doglioli, who plays for Vicenza in the Serie A league apparently doesn’t understand that because look at what he did to referee Maria Beatrice Benvenuti.
That little vile stunt there has now banned Doglioli from the sport for three years, and it should have honestly been longer. The FIR called it a “deliberate act of violence,” and that Doglioli failed to uphold the “founding values of our sport.”
This has occurred in other sports as well, as we have seen it in hockey when a player attacked a ref with a hockey stick, and in college football when an idiot punched a referee in the face. So kids, please stay away from referees, and just focus on the opposing players so that your dad won’t be disappointed in you even more.
