| Wow. Seems like the parent knew he was wrong, since he ran away. I pity his poor child - imagine being dependent on a violent adult. |
| Sounds about right |
|
I wonder what age group.
A crazy dad once tried to fight w our parent manager, then later threatened a lawsuit. |
| And it was a scrimmage? So didn’t even count for anything? Not that it would be okay under any circumstances, but that’s especially insane. |
| My kid didn't start the scrimmage so I beat his ass with a water bottle. He had it coming anyways. My boy is a striker and he had him playing left back that good for nothing coach. You's kids is a bunch of losers. I'm taking my boy to another club. Eff all of ya's. |
| Coach is lucky assailant used water bottle instead of what he alleged to have used in past |
I know this is intended to mock the Dad, but we really don’t know what led into this. If you read what so-called “Coach Vince” said to the Dad about his kid, it comes off as really dismissive. What was going on with the kid? Did some club favorite spike the kid, and Coach Vince blew it off? Hold off on judgment until all the facts come out. |
What?! Absolutely nothing the coach could have done would warrant a physical attack. |
+1 unless the coach physically assaulted kid |
Or looked the other way from said assault. |
Said the friend of the attacker. Coach said “Hey, you read to go back in?” After he saw an upset kid pulled aside by his (violent, crazy-ass father). Father then beats the coach with a metal water bottle and broke his face. But sure, both sides. W T F ? |
That would have been on the news. |
Exactly. Psycho. |
GTFOH.... The only article available in this says that the coach said "are you ready to go back in?" There's nothing dismissive about that. AND EVEN IF THERE WAS it doesn't justify a response of physical assault. If this is a PW team, there's nothing surprising here. We've played a couple of their teams (both rec and travel) and the parents were nasty....even to their own children on the field (some of the players were telling their parents to shut up...it was kind of sad actually). There seems to be no attempt by the club or the league to stop the behavior. It's a shame it came to this. |
