Earlier this year in Vegas a mother tackled a u17 girl who was playing in a game. Had words with the player and ran out and tackled her from behind. |
| If you google the suspect’s name, he was charged with a double shooting at a Sheetz 10 years ago…I don’t see what the result of the trial was, but, wow. |
I hope the girl’s teammates gave the mom a nice beating |
It is a Prince William county team… |
You’re trolling, right? You laughed when you wrote this, right? Because you cannot possibly be serious. |
I couldn't find that confirmed anywhere so I didn't want to assume. I know the location was a Manassas soccer field but it was a scrimmage and it wasn't clear if it was the home team or visiting team that this happened with. |
The team is NVSC. The coach was on the news this morning |
We have not had that experience with parents of PW team players. We have had a number of PW team coaches who screamed a lot and were verbally abusive to players, IMO. However, even if that occurred here, it would not excuse the dad's behavior, which was completely inappropriate and insane. |
Wow. |
|
Have seen lots of parents yelling at coaches and refs over the years, but the one time I saw one really go after a ref the ref was putting players in danger when he allowed one player to repeatedly kick at kids' kneecaps. I agree physical assault is always wrong but I'd like to hear the whole story.

| I should have read the story and the previous posts. This is really bad. |
Da fuq? there are a ton of witnesses. Dad should stay in jail. |
When my kid played a PW team we went to group of fields that had each individual field surrounded by very tall chain link fences. Only players and coaches could enter the fenced in area, all spectators had to watch outside the fence. Was like being in jail. In all the years of my kid playing soccer and all the teams we have traveled to from NC to NY (including PA and NJ where parents are nuts) I have NEVER seen anything like it since. I hope the coach recovers. BTW he was a volunteer subbing for a friend. He didn't know these kids nor this parent. |

Yeah, this guy is a hot-head from way back and probably needs to be locked up; the coach should consider himself lucky, all things considered: https://wtop.com/news/2012/12/two-hurt-in-manassas-park-shooting/ |
