Snapshot of America
This may not be the most exciting video in the history of the Internet, but I couldn't break away from it. We've got a little bit of everything here: All races, young, old, people over-reacting, people trying to be level headed, cops, a guy with a cane, and some lady yapping over all the commotion. And unlike your late night Denny's free for all fight where you cringe as you watch some guy or gal get beaten senseless by a bunch of punks, this was a classic middle-class / out-of-shape fight.
And, is it just me, or did that video have a weird feel to it. Kind of like Oliver Stone was at a little league game.

You're the only I know who would label a fight "snapshot if America".
You are welcome to move to a better country if you'd like.
"Ashley said he saw a little more than a tussle. "I seen a few punches throwed and mainly all I could see was a lot of pushing and shoving and wrestling," he said.
That quote ought to tell you all you need to know about the class of those involved in the fight.
My problemis with charging both men for fighting. Since when is it against the law to defend yourself? The only charges should be against the aggressor. This country is failing our youth by telling them that if they defend themselves, they are just as guilty as the aggressor. That is total BS. The defender should be given a medal for standing up to the bully.
You are all missing the point, the fight was completely justified. That pitch was definitely "Ball 1" and not "Strike 1".
I think I'll just have another of these fantastic oatmeal raisin cookies that we received from Mrs. Agnes Sterling of Cundiff, Texas and watch this video again.
Winner is the first one to cry uncle. Or have a major coronary.

10:30 why so angry? It is a snapshot of America. BG didn't claim that it was the only snapshot or that it was a true representation of all Americans. Why does pointing out our faults push your buttons. Are you one that believes we should just gloss over the negatives and hand out trophies to all?
There's a certain segment of our population that deems it necessary to fight at children's events, apparently without comprehending that they are leading those same children into stupidity by example. It happens a lot. A LOT.
Or maybe you really think there's a better country we should all move to. Which one please?
I think we should all move to Costa Rica and have a party on the beach. When everybody gets drunk, I plan on picking a fight with poster 12:05 just because I hate a goody two shoes attitude.
Looked like a Friday night at Eagle stadium!
I hate pan and scan. That's why all of my you tubes are in widescreen format.

Clear that the Kings started the fight and Davidson defended himself. Yes, it is a snapshot of our country and there were level headed people there to break it up. Could have happened anywhere and does all the time...no matter what your class is.
Snapshot of Africa
50 Christians burned in pastor's
home over the weekend in Nigeria
by those peace loving Muslims.
I think I'll stick to baseball.
I just returned from Ohio and deemed it the no hype no drama state. Maybe I have to reconsider...
I think that DF Tom Grieve should be a regular contributor, just like the Drugs and Alkeehol guy and the December 2012 guy.
This is nothing, check out a real snapshot of America.

Was that a Boyd game?
if 10:30 moved to another country, this one would be better for it. Downfall maybe for the moved to country.
You people all missed the point! It's a game, developed to have fun. Parents have ruined it for the children by acting like fools, starting with pee wee sports. There is so much competition created by parents that it has ceased to be fun. I have attended sporting events and left totally disgusted at the way parents scream at the children. Back off Mom & Dad and let the kids have fun. Few if any will ever make it to the pros and 5 years after graduatiion no one will care who won the big game.
My favorite parts were the black lady screaming, "WHAT ARE YALL DOIN?" and the white lady yelling, "Come oon guyzz let's show some class!!!"
10:29 I agree totally. I hate going to my grankids events and hearing the obnoxious parents constantly yelling at the kids (their's and others). Especially in Pee Wee leagues. The purpose of those leagues is to teach the kids how to play the games. How to win should not come until several years later. Parents - Wise up, be a better sport for your kids to see and be proud of you.
Two thumbs up!
