German Soccer Match Gets Called Off After A Referee Got His Nuts Bitten By A Child

As he checked over the players before the game, a child of one of the players ran up to him and bit him in the testicle. Buckled over - and presumably in quite a lot of pain - he had no choice but to call off the game. The two clubs will now have their match rescheduled for later in the season.
In his refereeing report, Kahler said: “While I was checking the FC Taxi players' ID, a small child was doing warm-up exercises alongside the players. He came closer and closer to me, then suddenly - to my complete surprise - gave me a sharp bite in my left testicle.
The last thing I want to do here is blame the victim. But at the same time…you just need to have better awareness when you're around children. Because if there are a bunch of kids running around, then there's a good chance that at least one of them has a shitty set of parents who let their kid get away with anything and everything.
Some kids will kick you in the shins. Others will bite you in the back of the knees. And every so often, you'll come across an absolute demon spawn who will bite you right in the nuts. You have to treat kids the same way you would if you were walking up to a pit bull. You want to hope that they are calm and well-behaved, but you need to remain cautious because there's always a chance they're out of their goddamn mind.
As a sidenote, I need to know what these kids were doing on the field. I know all the top tier leagues around the world usually have a bunch of little kids walk out onto the field with the players before the starting announcements and anthems and everything. But I'm pretty sure this was like an 8th tier league in Germany. Something tells me that these guys just have to bring their kids to the game because the teams don't provide any sort of childcare, and your wife is out working her actual job.
