Youth Football Coach Gives Player the "What For"

It's a CNN video so be patient. (And it looks like the coach didn't make out too well either.)

Exactly why I do not want my boys playing organized sports. Of course, I would not deny them that if they chose to participate.

If that sob did that to MY child...it would be on! I might be a small female, but I would still kick his ass and have him prosecuted!

Actually, peewee football shouldn't even exist!! Most school coaches (middle school & above) would rather have kids in their younger years participate in sports that promote athletic skills with less contact--soccer and basketball, for instance (although few would admit that out loud or in public). And you'll NEVER get a pediatric orthopedist to agree that young kid's bodies should take the abuse tackle football dishes out. PeeWee football is just a relatively recent development out of the sick fascination we have for the sport of football!!

I grew up playing tackle football in the vacant lot next to my house with kids twice my age. At least it is suppose to be organized and that they have pads on.

I remember one kid swallowed his retainer(mouth piece)and has to dig through his stool to make sure it passed.

Honestly, I think it's kinda funny. Whether anyone admits it or not, they would have wanted to do the same thing that coach did if it was their kid. Self control is sometimes hard to do. Especially, at those pee wee games.

Wasn't even that good of a hit on the kid. I'd raz that coach for such a wimpy hit.

Seems strange that the entire story, doesn't have one quote from the coach about his player throwing down such a blatant late hit on that kid. Wonder how many late hits there were?

Not that it makes what that father did allright or excused in any way whatsoever. Nothing would.

Can you imagine the torment this guy’s kid is going to get? “Your dad hits like a girl” and “Are you going to get you dad to bet me up when he gets out of jail”. I’d move to San Francisco where the rest of the sissies are.
