Your badassery knows no bounds...

:spock: Try watching the video first sport. He didn't "tackle" anyone. It was a "fun" drill and "Lil Jimmy" got hurt due to poor tackling form.

As they should have. If he broke the kids arm, he probably went full speed. Not only is it smarter to go half or quarter speed, but more beneficial as well.

Dude threw a shoulder with a 10yd head of steam. It was well more than was necessary to get any kind of point across.

ROFL I know right...

Slowing the video down and syncing it up to Springsteen's Glory Days puts it in more perspective.

I played back in high school and never had our coaches jump in on full contact drills. Not to say it doesn't happen, but that's just about what you'd expect these days. That kind of thing just doesn't fly anymore.. Looking at the video, they should have had big boy that was last in line, first in line. Hindsight..

So a short fat ass adult coach gets a fulls head of steam and plows over a stationary 13 year old kid thus causing an broken collar bone. Yeah, no liablity there :facepalm:

Sign that guy up for a Darwin.

I'm sure the guy will get fired for it, but it wasn't a malicious thing he did. I do agree that you can't do things like that anymore. "Back in the day" sure, but now it is asking for trouble.

...anyone here want to don pads and try to tackle ...say Steven Jackson?



no?

...pussies.

It wasn't malicious, just moronic.

No, not at all.

The kid took the blow high, instead of delivering it himself low, like he had probably been told numerous times.

The Dad should back the coach up, tell the kid to "buck up" or he is going to be father of an X box wimp.

I just did. He ran at the kid and lowered his shoulder on him. How is that not dumb for a grown man to do that? Are you telling me you guys couldn't seriously injure 13 year olds doing that? Who are the real pussies here?

Teaching my boy to play guitar, had to bite the head off of his sisters kitten cuz he wasn't playing fast enough. I'm in the dog house with the wife, but this kid is going to shred.

Look my son is 14 years old and a starting DT and G on the JV team.
He's 5'10" weighs 210 lbs, has been hitting the weights since he was in 7th grade, and every day I'm more impressed with how strong he's getting.
The other day he came home and bragged to me how he was one of only 3 kids on the JV squad who could bench 175lbs.

175lb max bench is pud, but I'm not going to tell my boy that of course, I'm proud of where he is because god knows I couldn't put up 175lbs at 14. That just serves to illustrate the point though , he's big and he's heavy but he's still a kid and he has a kids soft muscle mass and undeveloped body.

Now you idiots thinking these kids are adults because they look like it from the outside I can understand, but I'd be damned pissed if my coach did that and broke my kids bones because he works with kids and he should god damned know better.
