Stefon Diggs got trucked off a pile by a referee (video)

A player touching a referee in the NFL is a huge deal.

It apparently doesn’t work the other way around—just ask Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

Diggs found himself hanging around a scuffle when a referee seemed to take something he said or did rather personally:

The reaction was hilarious:

I'm sure there will be the same outrage over that ref pushing Stefon Diggs as there is when a player taps an official.

Hey @BR_DougFarrar how do I account for Stefon Diggs getting trucked by a ref in the #NFL1000 this week?

Referees have to clear piles and make sure players don’t get hurt, but this official’s going all WWE on Diggs seemed a bit unnecessary.

Wait around to see if the league says anything about it. Just don’t expect much.
