Soccer player breaks ref's jaw after being red-carded

A soccer referee in New Zealand won't be calling any games in the near future, thanks to a powerful punch he took from a player who broke the ref's jaw when he tried to eject the player from the match between Manukau City and Tauranga City on Wednesday. Police and the Auckland Football Federation are investigating the incident, the player has been suspended and the ref will have surgery. "(I've) never seen anything like this in 30 years that I've been playing," said one team manager. "It was his second yellow card. He didn't want to leave and attacked the referee." Talk about a spoilsport.
