Mic’d-Up XFL Refs Hilariously Called a Penalty on a Player for Squirting Water at One of Them

You can’t do this to a ref!

The XFL, in case you forgot, is a football thing that continues to be a football thing. And one of the best parts about this football thing continues to be the mic’d up refs.

We had another example of this on Monday night when the refs tried to figure out a very important call during the Houston Roughnecks-DC Defenders game. 

Here’s what happened: A Houston player on the sideline squirted some water at one of the officials, which was just an incredible move. That official obviously didn’t like that one bit and had a brief conversation with the head referee, who made the call after being surprised to hear what happened.  

This is great: 

Just tremendous stuff. Keep being you, XFL.
