Assistant coach attacks youth football player.

[IowaSkinsFan]

This is a link to a video that shows an assistant coach attacking a youth football player. The player that was attacked was just flagged for a late hit on another player, much smaller than him.

Has anyone seen this video or heard the story? I think the assistant coach is being charged with a felony and is facing prison time.

Thoughts? Discuss.

Wow, that guy has anger management problems. I don't know why he would lose it over a seemingly routine play. The hit was late but it wasnt that bad of a hit. I wonder if there was more to it than the video showed, but regardless of how the 13 year old acted or if he had made any comments or fouls prior to this one that guy has got to be the adult!

I think the little guy who suffered the late hit might have been the assistant coaches son, which would seem to explain why he took such extreme exception to the late hit.

maaaan, i tell you one thing. if some guy did that to one of my nephews i would have been in jail too, lol. i saw this yesterday and wanted to post it, but couldnt find a link to a video. thats uncalled for and im anxious to see what type of punishment the kids father gets.

I saw this yesterday. What a chump. I hope he got pounded by someone. He was real brave to hit an off guard 13 year old and then immediately cowered like a punk when he thought the refs, someone actually his size, were going to come after him. I would have liked to be one of those refs.

I don't care what his relation might have been to the kid who was hit late, this joker needs to be tought a lesson. I hope he does face some jail time no matter how brief. Some of these parents/"adults" at little league games are getting out of hand.

Edit: Sorry had to vent, I get so mad when I see that video.

He needs to be put in a jail cell with the biggest, meanest guy in there.

Here is an article from the Times about the incident:

http://washingtontimes.com/sports/20...2132-3518r.htm

The arrest of the youth-league football coach in Stockton, Calif., is the first step of a legal system that should slam the 36-year-old nut job as hard as he slammed the 13-year-old player late in the game Saturday.
The national fool known as Corey Petero has been charged with misdemeanor child abuse and faces up to six years in prison.
Or perhaps Petero could offer a creative plea bargain that allows one of the NFL behemoths to deliver a devastating blow to his pathetic form.
Petero's bullying following an opponent's late hit on his son resulted in a 20-minute brawl between the parents and players of both teams.
This incident is merely the latest in a long line of egregious outbursts involving coaches and parents of teens and tykes.
Petero's case is not helped by the video that has received a thorough airing out across the land. It shows Petero running about 10 yards and dropping the boy with a blindside hit.
Petero did not just cross the line.
He obliterated it, as overzealous parents and coaches too often do.
They forget that it is only a game and that, win or lose, the sun is destined to rise the next morning.
If Petero is anything like all too many parents, he probably already sees his son having a star-studded high school career. He probably sees vast importance in his son's athletic development. He probably spouts all the wrong cliches.
Sports undoubtedly can be a useful instrument in the development of a child. But in our sports-saturated, sports-obsessed culture, that usefulness has been distorted by parents with stars and dollar signs in their eyes.
Parents hire personal trainers, coaches and nutritionist with the hope that little Johnny will grow up to be the next LeBron James or Reggie Bush.

If that was my kid he went after, he wouldn't have to worry about facing a judge.

So true. I don't advocate violence but if someone tries to harm my kids, all bets are off.

Was that Parcells? J/K Not to make light of the situation, but what was the deal with the flying knee attack? That's something you would see from a Bruce Lee movie or something. That guy is a sad dude, plain and simple. I can understand why the guy might get upset, but what in the world provokes you to run onto the field and try to hurt a 13 yr old kid? It's a strange world we are living in.

Anyone notice the team in white has a Redskin emblem on their helmet?

Idiot should be thrown under the jail!

First of all, the adult is wrong. Let's get that out of the way. You just don't do anything remotely resembling what that coach did.

But this kid on the Today show is all playing the victim? That is laughable! He victimized that smaller kid when he clearly hit him in the back late and then walked away like the bad ***. You know that was intentional. And then he claimed to have "no idea" why someone (he thought it was another player at first) would retaliate. He got victimized in return. Welcome to the food chain.

And the "parent" sitting next to him making excuses for his thuggish behavior, essentially condoning the act and enabling him to do it again disgusts me. They are clearly angling for a civil settlement and are losing this opportunity to both support AND correct their child's actions in favor of setting up a payday.

I did. Those are some nice helmets for youngsters.

I can see your point BNG, but again the parent has to be an adult about the situation even if his kid was taken advantage of . I did find it a little disappointing that the kid that delivered the late hit didnt own up for his own behavior and accept some responsibility for what he did on the field. I find it hard to believe that he had "no idea" what he had done wrong.

I agree and that coach should be held accountable for his actions. Maybe that's in court, but he should definitely not be allowed to coach kids again, IMO.

That kid who got pummeled by the coach disturbs me though. He knows that he did wrong. Or at least he should. If not, then his parents suck.
