FORT WAYNE — A video showing a fight between a referee and a spectator at a Fort Wayne basketball game has gone viral on social media.
The video that went viral on Twitter shows the referee tackling the spectator while the spectator tries to throw punches. Several players and coaches are then seen trying to separate the two men. “It’s hard because we’ve reached a level where we’re all fed up. We’re tired. We’re tired of the treatment of officials,” Rudolph told 21Alive. “When fans take it personally, and they want to either come on the floor or make threats from the stands, that’s when things really change, that’s when things get pushed over the line, over the limit.”“He’s well-known. He’s well-respected. For him to take the abuse that he did over the weekend, it’s disheartening,” he says.
The coach of the opposite team tells 21Alive that the parent shown in the video was 'heckling and degrading' his players and the referee throughout the game.
