Female Referee punched in the back of the head in Adult League

Horrifying scene at a soccer game in Argentina this weekend -- when a male player absolutely lost it and attacked a female referee after being handed a yellow card.

It all went down during a third division match between Garmense and Independencia of the Tres Arroyos Regional League ... when player Cristian Tirone unleashed on official Dalma Cortadi while her back was turned.

In video of the incident, you can see several players try to stop the attack ... but to no avail.



Ann Arbor Public Schools' Rec & Ed department has made changes to make its boys and girls youth soccer teams coed for the fall season. Some parents who pushed for the change say the leagues, which are labeled as girls coed and boys coed, still reinforce gender segregation.

ANN ARBOR, MI - Kathleen Davis was surprised and disappointed to learn Ann Arbor Public Schools Rec & Ed department segregated teams by gender for children in grades K-5 when she signed her child up to play youth soccer last fall.

Davis’ kindergartener, who identifies as non-binary, had been welcomed and supported by their teachers, but had their identity “negated” by having the youth soccer teams segregated by gender, Davis said, causing her to start a petition to make all the teams gender-inclusive. It was signed by more than 130 current and former AAPS parents.
