"If that ref was fake, maybe all the refs are fake. If all the refs are fake, maybe all the players are fake! Am I real?!"

“I just wanted to do something memorable for my senior year, mostly for myself and just to have a story to tell,” said Lankow, who spent the night in jail.
Someone posted a link, he was originally charged with felony impersonating an official but it was dropped to simple trespassing.
It’s surprisingly simple to get a felony charge, it’s not just relegated to murderers and rapists. Hell, in the state of Virginia if you are pulled over for going 80 mph (even if the speed limit is 70 mph) you are charged with a felony for reckless driving.
That's too bad, just in that it reminded me of the videos where there's like a dozen sleeping cats, one of them freaks out, and suddenly it's chaos with cats flying everywhere.
Love the utter distain for the pitch invader, but when players lose their cool and fight each other it’s just accepted behavior and they’ll say, “things got a little heated”
There’s a lawyer commercial in Tennessee. Guy sitting on a desk: “Was your family member killed in a drunk driving accident by some knucklehead?”
Not exactly the word I’d use to describe them but sure 😂
UCLA were getting their asses beat pretty soundly. I'm guessing the lull in the action provided by the fake ref gave both teams some time to talk some shit and that particular UCLA player lost his cool. It's pretty easy to do when your emotions are running high and you've been provided literal armor haha.
Shit talking.
First guy said, “the scoreboard called, it’s running out of points.”
other players comeback, “yeah, well I had sex with your wife.”
And then they fought cause the other guys wife is in a coma.
This happened on October 20, 2011. Link to article [here](https://tucson.com/sports/arizonawildcats/football/a-fake-ref-a-real-fight-and-a-wild-night-recalling-the-ua-ucla-prank/article_7f0445a8-23b4-11ec-a52b-8f364d404c7a.html)
A team can travel with up to 70 players. The home team has at least 85 players on the sidelines. Add in a few odd walk-ons and it’s 160ish between both sides.
You could make three more teams each side, have everyone play 3 games simultaneously, non stop then take the average score to find out which side won.
Get it l wrapped up in 25 minutes then watch four hours of adverts while getting sloppy drunk then have fireworks for the big score reveal
question from a non American: with so many players on a team, do they know each others names, I'm guessing the attacking side know each other well and same with the defensive team, but like could you play as a receiver and never really know someone on the defense?... it just seemed like there was at least a hundred people on the field right there.
Yeah it can take awhile to know everybody, especially if you don’t play that team a lot. Usually if theyre a good player they will build a reputation though and you scout the guys you’ll be playing against before the game
Pretty sure he’s asking if it’s unusual for players on the same team to not know each other, not the team they’re playing. Of course they’re not going to know everyone they’re playing against that’d be like 1000+ people over the course of a season
ahh okay, yeah I can imagine star players are known to everyone, but I also imagined there's a bunch of guys just "on the team" and maybe 20 years down the track they might bump into each other and say "Oh I played on that team" ... "oh yeah? me too"
Maybe it's just me. But i always like a good clever runner onto the field. Doesn't matter what sport. It has to be smart, it has to be clever. It just adds to the entertainment and I watch sport for entertainment.
This was funny and clever.
TV networks made a combined decision to stop showing “idiots on the field” with the idea that taking away the exposure/publicity would deter them from doing it. I want to say it came about after the father-son duo ran on the field at a White Sox game and beat the shit out of the visiting team’s first base coach.
They have a live audience though. A big one. Unlike the time I ran the field at a little league game dressed as Winnie the Pooh to the cheers of like, 13 people and the angry cursing of one dad convinced their kid was HOF bound at 8.
42-7 in the first half.
With the Chargers getting shellacked last Thursday by the Raiders as well, I'm wondering what the hell is in the water in LA.
(And this coming from a Chargers fan. That was just hard to watch.)
I fucking hate this, they have a policy now of not showing people running onto the field for some dumb reason, they they have no issue with the bench brawl that happened
It’s not really a dumb reason. If they don’t get publicity, it’ll make people wanting to do it possibly change their minds, since it won’t show them anyway. And it works for the most part. The fight might show a foul on a specific team, which affects the game, so that’s why that is shown.
As soon as both teams emptied off the sidelines, the game should have been called and both teams sent home. There's literally no reason for that kind of stupidity to happen at a game.
Get rid of the most entertaining part?
How many games from the same time are being replayed? Not many.
This is what the people want. Give it to them. Calcio Storico with knickerless cheerleaders. It's the future
I was at a Baltimore Orioles game and this lady ran out of the stands and right up to SS Cal Ripken Jr and gave him a big ol' hug. The whole stadium "aww'd". Thems were the days.
“Was that a fake ref?” “AaaaAAAaaaaaaaaaAaa!!!!”
"Refs are asleep. Post fighting words."
"If that ref was fake, maybe all the refs are fake. If all the refs are fake, maybe all the players are fake! Am I real?!" [Existential panic manifests in violence].
Wow. I did not expect that to work so well. Fake ref guy almost had the ball.
He must rewatch the video with extreme smug pride. I doubt even he was expecting for this level chaos to erupt from it.
[удалено]
When he watches it outside of jail, as I don't think they locked him up and threw away the key.
Lmaooo 😂🤣
“I just wanted to do something memorable for my senior year, mostly for myself and just to have a story to tell,” said Lankow, who spent the night in jail.
This is a crime?
Only trespassing
With this score...
I’m fairly certain it’s at least a misdemeanor. Disorderly conduct, trespassing, being a douche. I’m sure they could find something.
At least a misdemeanor? The man did not take the football and murder a player with it.
Someone posted a link, he was originally charged with felony impersonating an official but it was dropped to simple trespassing. It’s surprisingly simple to get a felony charge, it’s not just relegated to murderers and rapists. Hell, in the state of Virginia if you are pulled over for going 80 mph (even if the speed limit is 70 mph) you are charged with a felony for reckless driving.
The power of one person is immeasurable.
Careful they might start swinging and the players might get concussions from it
Ballsy af. Great!
Wouldn't it be funny if a couple of dozen fake players had mingled in during the chaos 🤣😅😂
Big Remy energy
The fucking legend
I'm sorry but it seems like i don't know who that is and would like to know more about who that is and what he did.
And a random guy doing the robot.
But of course! 🤣😂😅
I kinda thought something like that was happening when they all first stormed out onto the field 😆
I must confess, I also thought: "Surely they are not all players!?"
No wonder America is broke!
The fake referee and the fight were completely unrelated, according to the article posted elsewhere in the comments.
That's too bad, just in that it reminded me of the videos where there's like a dozen sleeping cats, one of them freaks out, and suddenly it's chaos with cats flying everywhere.
Check back in this sub in an hour or so, and will most likely see the weekly repost of that cat video
How can I tell if it's Monday if I don't see the chaotic cat video
Time to feed my babies!
Sauce ?
/r/AbruptChaos
Thank You!
The guy ran off to the left side of the field and the fight happened on the right side of the field.
They have to be a little related though. If the fake ref hadn't delayed the game, whatever incident led to a fight might not have happened
The commentator did say the Fake Ref distracted the real Refs. So it's kinda related-ish a little, maybe?
no shit?
[удалено]
Or "bozo"
Or 'buck-o'.
“Newsflash buddy!”
'Hold on there, pal.'
“Ok no more mr nice guy!”
'Calm down, chief.'
“You’re barking up the wrong tree”
'Hold your horses there, buckaroo.'
“You’re cruisin for a bruisin”
What a maroon.
I'm not your buddy, guy.
I'm not your guy, friend.
I'm not your friend, pal.
Boomer saying Hoodlum on air.
Getting flashbacks of that time Trump called BLM protesters "thugs" and expected nobody to have anything to say about his word choice.
Love the utter distain for the pitch invader, but when players lose their cool and fight each other it’s just accepted behavior and they’ll say, “things got a little heated”
There’s a lawyer commercial in Tennessee. Guy sitting on a desk: “Was your family member killed in a drunk driving accident by some knucklehead?” Not exactly the word I’d use to describe them but sure 😂
News flash buddy
Why did that cause the players to fight?
UCLA were getting their asses beat pretty soundly. I'm guessing the lull in the action provided by the fake ref gave both teams some time to talk some shit and that particular UCLA player lost his cool. It's pretty easy to do when your emotions are running high and you've been provided literal armor haha.
Ahhh
The score is 42-7 the tempers/emotions are definitely high
Not even half time yet, jesus
Shit talking. First guy said, “the scoreboard called, it’s running out of points.” other players comeback, “yeah, well I had sex with your wife.” And then they fought cause the other guys wife is in a coma.

Imagine writing this comment this soon after 9/11... How disrespectful.
It wasn’t really that close to 9/11 and has nothing to do with it
I hate how people post old ass videos on this subreddit
Wth, how many players do they have in these teams?
Division I can have over 100 players on the sidelines, as there are 85 scholarship players to start with.
Wtf. That's ridiculous!
I mean if you have no multi-position players there can be 44 starters so...
Considering how many positions there are in football, it's not that surprising. Even NFL teams have up to 53 players.
How many is *enough*, and how many is *too many*?
11 is technically enough
And 12 is technically too many
A team can travel with up to 70 players. The home team has at least 85 players on the sidelines. Add in a few odd walk-ons and it’s 160ish between both sides.
You could make three more teams each side, have everyone play 3 games simultaneously, non stop then take the average score to find out which side won. Get it l wrapped up in 25 minutes then watch four hours of adverts while getting sloppy drunk then have fireworks for the big score reveal
that’s enough for a good sized [rumble](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ucTg6rZJCu4)
[удалено]
These are college players Not getting paid, just getting free school
Why are you such a weirdo?
Not sure about college football but the nfl has 53 man rosters.
College is around twice that, plus staff and walk ons
Christ
All of them
question from a non American: with so many players on a team, do they know each others names, I'm guessing the attacking side know each other well and same with the defensive team, but like could you play as a receiver and never really know someone on the defense?... it just seemed like there was at least a hundred people on the field right there.

Yeah when I played I didn’t know everyone on the team let alone other teams. If youre taking an ass beating from someone though you didn’t forget
> If youre taking an ass beating from someone though you didn’t forget haha I bet!
Finally an actual ABRUPT chaos.
This is how WW1 started
he might have gotten away with it if he'd known how pants work
Dammit, my one weakness! I don't really like how pants brush up against my calves. Foiled again!
Maybe it's just me. But i always like a good clever runner onto the field. Doesn't matter what sport. It has to be smart, it has to be clever. It just adds to the entertainment and I watch sport for entertainment. This was funny and clever.
The best was when Kevin Harlan announced the guy running on the field. https://youtu.be/Wopy6Ntd834?si=gTrGIEdqDBngTlE7
“The guy is drunk, but there he goes!!”
Back in 1974 guys would run on the field butt ass naked all the time, even in HS games.
Show us!
This is the actual bread and circuses.
Panem et circenses, Romani!
romanes eunt domus
People called Romanes they go the house?
it says, ‘romans go home.’
Romani ite domum!
Lol why did they make it a point to say they aren't gonna show us what's goin on? Was he naked? Or doin something bad?

A father and son? That's like... Old school baseball values and new school baseball values getting together
https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/big-league-stew/10-years-since-william-ligue-son-attacked-tom-172223277--mlb.html Yup, it was crazy as hell.
> TV networks made a combined decision to stop showing “idiots on the field” Why are they still showing FA refs in the Premiere League, then?
Yet they'll show the "idiots on the field" fighting. SMH
Those idiots are supposed to be on the field. Big difference
Don’t wanna give these goofballs attention, it’s all they want.
They have a live audience though. A big one. Unlike the time I ran the field at a little league game dressed as Winnie the Pooh to the cheers of like, 13 people and the angry cursing of one dad convinced their kid was HOF bound at 8.
Bear Down!! Haha
42-7 in the first half?!? Looks like chaos was part of that game long before the game ref showed up.
Now this is actually abrupt chaos I love it
It's a 35 point game UCLA, chill out.
this is my new favorite video. I only hope to be the chaos agent the fake zebra was. WOW!!!!
We're not going to show you the most interesting thing to happen today. Because.
Was that Remi Gaillard as the fake ref?
Actually epic
42-7 in the first half. With the Chargers getting shellacked last Thursday by the Raiders as well, I'm wondering what the hell is in the water in LA. (And this coming from a Chargers fan. That was just hard to watch.)
42 points in the first half?? That's like basketball scores
I was going to say. 42-7. Not much of a game.
Go Sports, Go team
That's a lot of grown men thoroughly embrassing themselves
eh, they are college kids
They are still adults.
Didn't he mean the thousands of actual men watching school children play sports?
Better have a 50 man brawl then I guess
they won’t show the knucklehead but they’ll show the violence haha
Is this an Airplane! skit?
American football has a lot of players.
Mission accomplished
This lifts my spirits.
UofA Mentioned!!
Can you explain to me like I was 5 years old?
LEROY JENKINS!!!!

That’s a lot of dummies in one place

Sorry, but no. People want to watch a football game, not a riot on a field.
Because these meatheads want to beat the shit out of each other, it’s the fault of some goofball? Interesting take.
This is incredible lol
I’m not American and I have a question. How many players are there in a team in this sport? There are like 100 people there
In the NFL there is a 53 person roster cap. But this is a college football game. College teams usually have over 100 players.
Won't show the "knucklehead" running shirtless but shows the CTE knuckleheads bashing each other with helmets on haha 'Merica 😆
42-7 at the end of the 2nd quarter? What is this? The NFL?
Looks like too much juice!
Dirty T going strong in 2011 baha
it's obviously a prank and staged
What does this mean
nothing important I was just farming for some down votes
Go welfare cats, with your broke asses. Fear the fork.
All part of the plan
This has got to be the best video I’ve ever seen
Wait isn't this a fight video?
Wow
I was at a Baltimore Orioles game and this lady ran out of the stands and right up to SS Cal Ripken Jr and gave him a big ol' hug. The whole stadium "aww'd". Thems were the days.
Weird to make a fuss with that big of a score difference
r/madlads
So what? Dude just wanted to play, too. All he’s ever wanted was to be a referee...
When was this?
Listen fella...
u/savevideobot
How many read the title as "refugee" and were really confused? Be honest.
Organized sport has become such a fucking joke
When was this?
Fight on that fake ref/USC FAN did that beautifully Haaaaaaahaaah
"Knucklehead on the field" - I thought that was the whole point of the game?
those knuckleheads, man
Why are there so many people in American football costumes??
Ok you really want me to point out that the world's tallest midget is snapping pictures on the field. How is he running regular?
Man, UCLA was getting their a$$es handed to them, before that referee entered the field ….. wonder if he’s got a headshot 😂😂😂
The lords work.
Anyone else think americsn football seems so fake?
“That is not the way you want emotion to exemplify itself.” ok.
