How embarrased is that kid right now? His dad was just on every news show in the country, flipping out because his son took a little bit of a late hit. Now he’s going to get picked on all the time, and the other kid can say, “What are you going to do, have your dad beat me up? Yeah, maybe when he gets out of Chino.”
I believe the team in black was losing, so the big kid probably made the hit on the little guy out of pure frustration. That happens, they’re youngsters. The kid who took the hit got right up, wasn’t injured, he’s fine … throw the flag, 15 yards, we all move on.
But here come daddy (an assistant freaking coach, even) like a bolt of lightning. He runs and puts a leaping knee into the kid, knocking him down… and then my favorite part, he starts backing up like he just saw Godzilla. He’s man enough to hit a 13-year-old, but when a ref steps in his direction, he starts backing up like a little girl. Yeah, he’ll do well in the joint.
This is just fantastic. How insane does a guy have to be for something like that to happen? Maybe the guy just picked this particular day to start up a cocaine habit. He actually escaped the scene, bit the police, through some amazing detective work, were able to track down the guy with the use of the videotape, his son, the other coaches on the staff, and the hundred or so witnesses that all knew exactly who he was.

I beat up a 13 year old just this morning. Gotta start the day right.
Fucking moron. I hope his blockmates beat him with rolled soap.

Weird, I saw this on the local news and thought it happened in DC. Parents aren’t as crazy here as I first thought.

People are just nuts. I coach junior high football and it never ceases to amaze me how many people who appear “normal” in any other setting become raving lunatics when attending their son / daughter’s sporting event. Does this guy surprise me? Call me a cynic, but nope – the surprise is that this doesn’t happen more often.

This video was the main topic of discussion in my law class today. It was something about implied consent or some shit like that. But there’s something about seeing a 50 year old law professor giggling her damn head off while showing a video of a 13 year old getting wrecked that makes it all seem worthwhile.
Thank you, asshat parent.

In addition to the late hit, I think he called the kid’s mom a “terrorist whore.” Pops must have heard it.

Big gain by the bears. It’s now 1st and ten; there is a flag on the play on Brian Woods for a late hit. Brian plays for the bears…OH MY GOD! A DAD IS ON THE FIELD! HE’S GONNA LEVEL THAT KID! THE BEARS PLAYER IS DOWN! THE DAD’S STILL ON THE FIELD!
Just shout like the guy annoucing the Stanford-Cal game.

Let he who has not who has not tackled a 13 year old cast the first stone… Okay, my turn!

I like how, on the Today show, the “victim” was asked if he knew why the dad flipped out like that. He won’t say, “because I hit his sone late,” which is perfectly obvious. Looks like he wasn’t any better coached for his tv appearance than the game.
Excruiciating tv, that.

The most frustrating part of all this is how to explain it. Shouting at the sideline is one thing…running onto the field?
Is this guy just an asshat, just demented, what? Seriously, what possesses a man to do this?

Of course, there will be some dickhead coming out of the woodwork telling us he’s really not that bad of a guy and it was a one-time mistake. Then the “victim” will hire a lawyer and sue his ass off and the guy’s family will end up homeless. All because of a 13 year old football league. Sweet.

Apparently, it was revealed that the 13 year-old had said something about his sister. The French rejoiced at the attack and Chirac held a press conference to declare the father a national treasure.
