We've said it before and we'll say it again, being a referee in any sport is extremely difficult.
Like any job, officiating has its challenges with one of the main ones being dealing with fans, players and coaches that hate most of the calls you make.
Usually referees only make headlines for making mistakes, and that fact holds true in this article.
During a football game, a player by the name of Ethan Suarez looked like he had returned a kick to the house, but as he was reaching the end zone, he was tripped up by the ref (based on the caption, this video seems like it's a throwback)
As a football player, that's one of the most gut-wrenching and heartbreaking things that can happen.
Ethan could smell the end zone and he was so close to tasting it until the ref got in the way. It should also be pointed out the the official wasn't trying to trip him, but it happened and the video has gone viral because of it.
Unless your name is Wes McCauley, no referee ever wants to go viral because chances are it will be for something they did wrong.
