DALLAS -- Michael Moreno and Victor Rojas, the two high school players who targeted a referee during a high school football game in Texas, spoke out on Good Morning America on Friday and said their coach told them to "do it."
The incident happened on Sept. 4. Video posted online shows the two players intentionally hitting the referee during a play.
George Stephanopoulos asked the players, “Your coach told you to do it?”
The players did not name the coach during the interview, however assistant coach Mack Breed has been suspended by the Northside Independent School District pending an investigation.
Robert Watts, the referee involved in the incident, has repeatedly denied using any slurs.
