To me, that is profoundly sad.
And sobering in a way. Life is not virtual reality. Even 17 year olders need to be responsible, and I suspect the kid is realizing that.
This is one of those off the richter scale events that seem unexpected. I remember in my younger years screaming at a ref with all my anger, much more than the event implied, but never even thought of punching the guy. But he did take an lot of abuse for a church basketball league ref making like no money.
