This was on the news so you guys may have seen it but if not watch and be amazed.

Wow. Don't punish the kids. How about banning all the parents from the games for the rest of the year and replacing the coaches on both teams. Also ban the offending coaches and dads for life. Never allow them to coach or watch a game. Also extend it to other sports. Or how about POLICE? Press some charges and make sure those parents don't get involved in any more youth sports.

Sorry, I just get really aggravated at parents that act like 3 year olds when watching their kids play.

I work a lot of youth football. It is not uncommon for a youth team to have 6, 8, or more coaches. And of course, they are all daddy coaches. In my area, to be on the sideline, a coach has to have a pass hanging on him.

I don't believe these are "just" parents, but rather daddy-coaches. If you suspend the lot, there is nobody to coach and therefore the kids can't play. I would suspend the teams for a week or 2 and definitely no playoffs. I feel bad for the kids, but there is little choice in the matter.

The kids are going to take the brunt of any discipline, no matter how you slice it.

In my area, any coach/team that gets 2 USC penalties in a game is fined $500. It's amazing how quickly they quiet down after that first flag.

that fat-ass who sucker punched that guy from behind needs to be charged with assault!

title of this thread should be:

Parents are a$$holes - Teach kids valuable lesson

I hope the kids ARE NOT allowed to play because of the parents and coaches. It'll open EVERYONE'S eyes ......

What a pathetic, ridiculous situation.....
