why do you have to assume option b?

I'd prefer if the kid was mearly held to the same standards. assault= jail.

in football a late hit is a penelty, his dad should be happy, free yards.

the kid had the bawls to NOT hit back and get a personal foul.

his dad is a blockhead, enough said.

Damn dude, it was an unnecessary late hit in a game. But you don't go and try to kick some 12-year-old's ass for it.

Teach your kids how to deal with these situations, people.

The kid delt with it just fine. He waited for a penalty to be called, and it was.

That's what sportsmenship is all about. The kid that got hit did the right thing. His father did not.

yeap. there is no justifcation for what the father did. hopefully he gets found guilty.

ahh, so that makes you the better man. since you are tough enough to beat the other guy up.

yeah it does make him a better man for not letting another adult get away with harming his child. if you wuoldn't do anything you are a certified pussy, you have defective dna, you are a disgrace to men everywhere and you should be prevented from further procreation.

if you really think little kids need to goto jail for a school yard brawl you have mental problems.

one of the few times i agree with you.

and right after you do it i would even tell the cops that you did it. but i would agree with why it happened.

I highly doubt that was the only cheapshot that player laid on his son during the course of the game.

Did you even watch the video? The fathe pushed the kid, and knocked him down, big deal. He doesn't hit him or kick him or do anything that would cause the kid to even seek medical attention, much less get "put into traction". If Amused is being honest, then he is just a big bully and destined to spend a lot of time in prison when he assaults the wrong person. Or maybe he is just acting tough because this is an internet forum :p

You do realize these are 13 year old kids right?

A grown man (he looked to be probably at least around 180lbs) taking a full out 30 yard sprint towards your kid and launching his body at him is pretty fvcked up. Looking back, a flying knee no less.

It's an adult assaulting a child. Again, were it my child that father would be in a world of hurt... and no jury would convict me.

And no, I'm 39 years old and have never been arrested for a crime (besides an unpaid traffic ticket in my teens), much less in prison.

there is no justification for littering either, but lots of people do it. "no justification" doesn't mean something needs to have harsh penalties associated with it.

It's up to his son and his teammates to deal with it.

So assualting a child should be a hand slap?

Do you have kids?

I don't have kids, but if I did I think I'd have a hard time watching another adult knock him down and not do anything about it. I'd like to think I could restrain myself, but that's probably a little optimistic.

But I'd still make my kid sit out the next game for the late hit from behind away from the play.

late hits happen. he was away from the play and may not seen or heard the whistle. He did not attempt to injure the other player (well besides a hard hit). i see no reason to punish him for it.

the kid is playing tackle football. getting knocked down by an adult isn't that serious when he has probably been knocked down by kids on the other team all day.

If my kid played a cheap shot like that I'd fully understand the league banning him from play... and he'd be in a LOT of trouble from me. I HATE that kind of crap.

Still, that's no reason to allow an adult to assault him. You're right... I KNOW I wouldn't be able to restrain myself.

It's a <100lb 12 year old being hit by a 180-200lb adult. Trust me, it hurt a LOT more.

I don't understand your logic. He didn't attempt to injure the other kid? But you think the adult who ran onto the field DID? I think if the guy really wanted to hurt the kid he could, looking at the video it just looks like it was "get away from my son" push and that was the end of it.

so by that logic it should be ok for people to shoot at marines that are coming back from iraq using the defense that they are used to getting shot at.

So, why does it change as an adult? Whats so special about turning 18 that suddenly a slap in the face can lead to jail time, when previously it never did?

no, you have the analogy wrong. if you are going to say that the fathers kid was playing paintball with the other kid except the bully kid used a real loaded gun and shoots the fathers kid, and the father shoots the bully afterwards.

that would be a more accurate analogy.
