Arrests Follow Youth Football Game
From the Sports Desk comes this heartwarming story, in the tradition of “Hoosiers”, “Remember The Titans”, “The Mighty Ducks”, and all those wonderful movies about inspiring coaches who teach their athletes that life is about more than winning…ah, who am I kidding. Three Pennsylvania football coaches were arrested for their conduct during a game. All three swore at the refs and incited the crowd, in protest of a perceived bad call made by the officials. One of them apparently threw a football at the refs. Oh, and they also swore at police officers who were there to maintain order.
This story has it all - belligerent parents, maniacal coaches, poor sportsmanship, accusations of racism, dads being led off in handcuffs. All over a football game played between 11-year-old kids. And once again, the parents end up screwing things up for the kids. Call me old-fashioned, but aren’t football games supposed to be fun? I know, I know - that’s crazy talk.
