San Francisco, CA – In a shocking and unprecedented event, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has been accused of physically attacking referee Ken Williamson following the 49ers’ painful 27-23 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Sources confirm that Shanahan, enraged by several controversial calls during the game, confronted Williamson in the locker room tunnel post-game and physically assaulted him, leaving the referee with serious injuries. The incident occurred immediately after the final whistle, when the 49ers were dealt a devastating loss to their NFC West rivals, the Rams. Throughout the game, Shanahan was visibly frustrated by what he felt were questionable officiating decisions, including a disputed holding penalty in the third quarter and a late-game pass interference call that, according to many observers, ultimately sealed the 49ers’ fate.

Details of the Attack

According to multiple eyewitness accounts, the confrontation between Shanаhаn and Williamson took place in a private area near the team locker rooms after the game. Sources report that Shanahan, still fuming from the outcome of the game, stormed toward Williamson and began loudly accusing the referee of biased officiating that he believed had affected the result of the game.

Eyewitnesses described Shanahan as “absolutely furious” during the encounter. “Не was screaming at Williamson, saying the calls were unfair and that they cost his team the game,” one source said. “Then, without warning, Shanahan shoved Williamson, knocking him to the ground. It happened so fast that security didn’t have time to intervene immediately.” The impact of the push reportedly caused Williamson to fall awkwardly, resulting in a significant knee injury and a concussion.

Medical staff was immediately called to the scene, and Williamson was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. As of now, the full extent of the referee’s injuries is not clear, though sources close to the situation suggest that the injury could sideline Williamson for a period of time.
