Officials are people, too.
An unsuspecting referee got hit upside the head with a football, presumably accidentally thrown by a player as the play ended.
It’s not right to laugh at other people’s misfortunes, but its objectively hilarious. To his credit, the official soldiered through it.
Poor ref got hit with the ball ๐ญ
