R.I.P. Sean Patrick O’Brien
aka SPO.

He taught us to always tell our friends we love them. The definition of “team player”. We will love you forever. 🦓 @officialspo502 pic.twitter.com/cZh3BwZAXD

We were going to announce another match today, but it doesn’t feel appropriate knowing our friends and family are grieving the loss of referee SPO.

Today, we’re striving to be like SPO.
Tell your people you love them.
