[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When do the leagues that travel clubs play in around the DMV start to more consistently issue red and yellow cards to players for violent conduct?

While I certainly understand a particular level of forgiveness at the younger ages, it seems there are certain players even in the U10 top teams in the area who do things on the field that flat-out deserve cards, including at times, red cards. I have seen a child wrap arms around an opposing player and throw them to the ground, then once on the ground, fully swing to smack the player. Still, no red card... not even a yellow. At what point does this behavior stop being ignored?

There are other examples, like when a player on the opposing team is onsides and through on goal, before the last defender catches up from behind and literally jumps on the players back, wrapping their arms around the player and dragging them down to the ground. Still, no red card (not even a yellow in that instance). It seems this type of play will only continue (and potentially get worse) unless there are greater penalties for such behavior.[/quote]

Sounds like you had a game against SYC ... [/quote]
