Sad Day for a Referee
Richard Nieuwenhuizen, a 41-year-old youth soccer referee in the Netherlands, has died after he was attacked by several players following a game.
Players from Amsterdam club Nieuw Sloten reportedly kicked and beat Nieuwenhuizen who collapsed and was rushed to the hospital before later passing away.
Three players involved in the incident, ages ranging from 15 to 16, have been arrested and remain in custody.
Nieuw Sloten said in a statement on its website it has banned the players involved and pulled their team out of the league. The statement said such incidents “do not belong on a football field.”
Both clubs canceled all training scheduled for Monday.
Ajax coach Frank de Boer, preparing for his team’s Champions League match against Real Madrid, couldn’t believe the news, saying:
You can’t imagine it happening. That boys of 15, 16 years short circuit like that. You wonder about the parenting. Something has to be done, because this is too ridiculous for words.”

Everyone posting what could be classified as news should assume someone beat them to the punch. That way duplicate threads would often be eliminated.
