Texas HS Football Coach Reportedly Admits Telling Players To Target Ref

The assistant football coach at John Jay High School in San Antonio has reportedly admitted to telling his players to attack a referee during a game on Sept. 4, according to the Bleacher Report.

Mack Breed allegedly told head coach Gary Gutierrez after the game that he ordered the players to take out referee Robert Watts, according to a letter obtained by ESPN’s Outside The Lines.

“I later met with Coach Breed at John Jay High School...in my office in the presence of Coach Gutierrez,” Principal Robert Harris wrote in the letter. “Coach Breed told me that he directed the students to make the referee pay for his racial comments and calls. He wanted to take full responsibility for his actions. Mr. Breed at one point during our conversation stated that he should have handled the referee himself.”

During an interview on Good Morning America last week, the two players said Breed told them to make the referee “pay the price” after Watts allegedly missed calls and used racial slurs.
