Liga MX ref investigated for knee to player's groin
Mexico's football federation (FMF) have launched an investigation after footage emerged of a referee appearing to knee a player in the groin.

In case the video in the article is geo-blocked, Mexican FIFA referee Fernando Hernandez apparently kneed a Club Leon player in the groin during a referee "mobbing" in the Leon-Club America Liga MX game on Saturday. It's not quite clear how "direct" the contact is in the video, but the kneeing motion from Hernandez is pretty unmistakable.
I'm certainly not excusing Hernandez's actions. He needs to not stoop to this level. But when mobbing/surrounding of referees is allowed or condoned, the risk of something like this is going to be there.
