Football Broncos fans suck

...Even the youth football ones....

A youth football league has banned two of its Southern California teams after the players’ parents began to brawl while watching a game, one of the coaches told NBC 7 Wednesday.
Startling cellphone video shows how an adult’s heckling escalated to a huge fight during a Sept. 26 game at Otay Ranch High School. That night, the Otay Ranch Broncos were taking on the Inland Empire Ducks in the San Diego Youth Football & Cheer's (SDYFC) 14-and-under league.

On Wednesday morning, SDYFC Commissoner Cathy Luna sent an email to Broncos and Ducks leaders, informing them that their U14 teams were expelled for the rest of the season, according to Ducks Coach Keefe Pierson.

"It has nothing to do with the kids,” said Pierson. “The kids should still be able to play football. That's what it comes down to. We can't control parents. They're adults."

Otay Ranch Broncos players and supporters rallied Wednesday in Chula Vista to protest the SDYFC’s decision. For many of the teens, this will be the last year playing before high school.

“We have launched a lawsuit, a civil lawsuit, into this commission and Cathy Luna,” said Rev. Shane Harris, the president of the National Action Network.

Saturday’s brawl started after game organizers asked fans from each team to sit on separate sides of the field. According to Pierson, one man refused to sit on his team’s side. Instead, he began yelling at the players.

He later directed shouts at another adult in the stands, the cellphone video shows, and their insults became punches. As more and more people piled on, many left bleeding from various injuries.

“When they started fighting, we went to where we’re supposed to be, in the endzone,” said player Hasan Johnson. “I don’t understand why we are being punished for something some of our parents did.”

Chula Vista police were called to the scene, but no arrests were made and no one was taken to the hospital.

I hate youth football parents. And that's coming from someone who has a nephew who plays and a brother who coaches.

How civilized.

I coached many years ago, for like 7 seasons...yeah, not all, but MANY of the parents were horrible. And a surprising number were the moms, not the dads...

"We can't control the parents."

Yes you can. You are in control of who you let on your team.

The kid should have made that tackle. This could have been avoided.

Easy way to handle this? Let the games be played but bar anybody from actually sitting in the stands and watching it. They can stand outside the fence AWAY from where they can see the game. You can pick up your kid after the game is over.

Don't like it? Take your kid out of the game then.

That seems like a good idea in general. Youth leagues shouldn't have spectators, even if most are parents. They're supposed to be just for fun.

The parents will just be dicks outside of the fence.

I am trying to decide whether I want to ref high school and club soccer. Stuff like this makes mean lean toward no. On top of that...if I was the ref at that game....I am canceling the game and leaving immediately.

I umpired all ages of baseball from 18 and down for 6 years. The younger the kids, the worse the parents generally (there are exceptions).

The person who filmed that has zero chance of ever becoming a camera man.

scho63 · 10-01-2015, 05:34 PM

Let me guess, someone is going to claim that the victim said "hands up don't punch".

listopencil · 10-01-2015, 05:57 PM

That particular guy should have been banned from all games and practices, let the kids play. I spent a few seasons on the sidelines when my kids played. Much of that time was on the opposing sideline ticking plays. Never had a single problem. But then I'm not a belligerent asshole.
