More importantly, though, referees are responsible for keeping players safe and you need to take the job of officiating very seriously in order keep everyone safe and make the correct calls.

It's a unique technique to say the least, but it had an important purpose regardless of how funny it looked.

Shoutout to those referees who have go hard and add a little showmanship to their craft, too.
