Funny stunt.. however, if I wouldn’t have gotten in trouble at school, I wouldn’t at home. But if I did, I wouldn’t be able to sit down for a while and no ball, no nothing for a few weeks! Discipline is majorly lacking these days.

amount of whackos in the world today, those kids could have had knives, guns, or who knows what else on them, looking to do someone bodily harm. Had that been the case, and coaches or cops in attendance did nothing until someone got hurt or killed, the public would be wanting to prosecute them for not acting. Suck it up, Snowflake mom, and teach your kids to not run onto the field in the middle of an athletic contest.

for teaching this kid something she clearly failed, as a parent, to do.
All of our actions have consequences. Some good and some...well...not so good.

The fact that there are visual images of any kind (much less video) totally undermines her case and indicates that she has no clue as to how a parent should react. The kid got off easy.

Okay, I will take the contrary view. This was a high school

game. High school. Game. You know, like a bunch of 16 year olds having what is supposed to be fun. Alabama will play LSU at some point, but this was not that. The two kids looked like decent people playing an age old prank, while play was stopped. Their fellow students were in the stands. Their fellow students were on the field. Everybody was having fun.
Okay, so you can't let stuff like that happen on demand. Cops need to meet the boys when they get off the field, escort them off the premises, talk menacingly to them, look real stern about it. Then let them go and tell stories about the same #### they did.
But the coach is not the police, he is not judge and jury. There was nothing for him to protect, nothing for him to decide. It wasn't even his gig; he's paid to perform a role at that gig, and overseeing all things football is not it. I suppose next he went to the concession stand to check the quality of the fries and beat down the students working there if they weren't right.
The coach needs to leave the students alone. They don't report to him. He was being an #######, and if you met him he probably is an #######.
But the mom needs to shut up. The kid needs to experience some consequence for this, which includes some high fiving from his buddies. And the coach owes him an apology. Could have killed the kid with that move.

I played the game for 7 years, I coached the game for 27 years from Little League to High School. I have 3 State Title rings to show for for it. I coached well over 1400 kids including my own. Not a frigging one of them would have done something this stupid. The coach may have went a bit overboard but he was correct in stopping the idiot in the quickest fashion possible(see Mike Curtis). I am surprised one of the players didn't lay him out but they may have thought the same thing, what is this idiot doing and does he have a weapon that could hurt one of them. I can say with certainty that many of the players at our school had the mentality that would have afforded the idiot a quick and painful nap. Congrats to the coach, shame on the mother, and anyone who would support that kind of behavior!

How many games a poster played in or coached doesn't have
Sep 20, 2019, 3:32 PM

anything to do with this. But I'm impressed nevertheless.
Its timeout during the game Saturday night. We're up on Charlotte 28-3. A student covered in orange paint wearing an orange cape jumps over the fence at the hill and runs toward the West End Zone, a 120 yard sprint. The student section is cheering. A few of the players see him and laugh. But not Coach V, who sees this and intercepts the kid at the 50, both going full bore, and V clotheslines the kid. Lays him out, like Isaiah Simmons on a QB. On TV.
Don't you sit there thinking, "Dang V, nice job, but that is definitely not a good look"? Yes, that is what you would think. Or most people would.
V gets up, walks back to the sideline, some people are cheering, some are silent, some don't know what they just saw. But the kid doesn't get up. A trainer goes out that, looks at the kid, and starts waving his hands. A cart and stretcher come racing out.
Now what do you think?
That coach was out of line, and how many games you coached doesn't change that. The kid was out of line too, but it wasn't the coach's job to do that.

I wonder if the coach knew the kid. I also would like to know how many in progress football games at any level have been shot up by another football player in uniform or someone dressed as a football player.
It seems some of the commenters on here desire a Police State.
I won't say this is a proper comparison but I once knew a former Army Sniper that served in Vietnam. He got to where he enjoyed blowing people's heads off so he asked to be relieved of his duties.
Maybe the former Police chief could benefit from a career debriefing that includes some counseling with training in cognitive therapy.

an excuse to turn it against somebody, even treating a prank - and a pretty good one, imo - by a 16 year old at a football game like a terrorist attack. And defending that response by saying the kid shouldn't get off free, which no one has suggested is the case. Weird.

specifically to your post, what has been the average age of shooters in recent school incidents? Pretty doggone young. A VERY quick search shows that there have been TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY school shootings in the twenty years since Columbine. You can try to brush it off as "just kids being kids", but unfortunately in the times we now live in, "kids being Kids includes killing other kids for no reason.
Could the coach have just grabbed him? Possibly. But, I will be willing to bet that the public humiliation that kid got from this will be one of the better life lessons he ever learns. That is, unless his Snowflake mother does in fact succeed in getting the coach fired. Then, it will be exactly the wrong lesson, which would be, act out, and Mommy will always ride to your rescue, no matter what.

Another example of how current day parenting has changed
Sep 20, 2019, 3:34 PM
|
|
since I was a kid. If I had been a knucklehead and did something like this in my teens and gotten the same treatment by the coach, my parents would have applauded the coach. I was always told - if a teacher or principal gives me a spanking at school then expect to get another spanking when I get home.
I can tell you from first hand experience dealing with 18 year old trainees in the Army - this kind of "excuse" and "blame everyone but the child" parenting has bred a generation of entitled minded snots that get upset the first time they are told "no". Trying to get these young adults to realize the world does not revolve around them and replace that with a sense of self-sacrifice, teamwork, and discipline was a major undertaking.
No joke - when I was a Bn Cdr I was having a young man court martialed for selling drugs (cocaine and ecstasy) in the barracks. The PV2 was caught red-handed with a thousand dollars worth of drugs in his possession by CID and subsequently pissed hot for cocaine as well. On the day of the trial, this young man's mother came to my office and blamed me, the drill sergeants, other soldiers and the Army as the reason her son was selling drugs. Nothing was this young man's fault - it was everybody else. As I threw her screaming @ss out of the building, I told her that "with that attitude you had better get used to talking to your son through bars because continuing to make excuses for his bad decisions is going to result in him spending a lot of time in jail."
