How Did This Ref Keep From Splitting His Pants While Dodging a Soccer Ball?
In baseball, while frowned on by most fans, some umpires are notorious for being showoffs and showmen, doing their best to upstage the players. Maybe they're failed and frustrated athletes. Maybe their mommy didn't hold them enough when they were a kid.
Whatever the reason, I personally just want them to call the balls and strikes and stay out of the game as much as possible. It's like that with most sports.
Except this guy! The ref at a girls soccer match avoided getting hit by a ball by doing a split. Sure, he could have jumped out of the way. But why when he could pull off this amazing move.
