Im sure many of you saw what happened in Chicago, had that been my son i would have body slammed the dad right there in front of everybody plus blackened both of his eyes, what an idiot!

What happened in Chicago?

Two kids were wrestling on a team at school, one kid had the other kid pinned when the dad all of a sudden came out of the crowd and threw the kid off of his son, im sorry but that just hit me in the wrong way, that dad would have never touched another kid after i got done body slamming him right there in front of the crowd.

Another amazing story.

I saw that.....You know I normally wouldn't react this way, but I'd have to agree that if I were there (whether it was my kid or not) it would have been very difficult for me to keep my cool and not (at least try, I'm getting older, fatter and weaker :D ) pummel the heck out of that guy.

There is something seriously wrong with people today!

story I heard on local news is he is a coach of kids wrestling too, now he got banned from any coaching and the tossed kids' folks are considering charging him with assault since its all on video, I hope they nail his A$$ for that. It has to stop.

haha, thats true we are getting older, exc. but i do agree with you guys..it really would not have mattered if that guy who did that to the teen, was a ninja or not "it would have been on".. between me and him. really wouldn't matter what happened between us ..might not have looked right either, and to show the kids that we would repsond like that..i guess would be wrong, but thats how it would have to go down..thats for sure.:boxing:

Yeah. I think stuffin his a$$ in jail and pressing charges would be better than anything I could have done to him. I know a nice punch in the face would make me feel better, but him hanging with "Butch" for awhile would cure him of his actions.

my boys would expect me to drop him like a sack a taters........thats what Dads (or older brothers) are suppose to do, protect your kids!

but that's what the wrestlers on tv do...
someone should have grabbed a folding chair and cracked it over his head.

I'd spend an evening with Thomas Junta before I got involved in a sports fight...

That kid should have shot him ...

LOL!!!

you'd let somebody touch your kids onovakind? I'm sure thomas would love your visit.

And a visit from his kids...I'll bet they're real happy he got involved.

so your anwer is yes.

Has the vid hit you-tube yet... ??

That kid should have shot him ...


??????? You must be kidding..right ? As if there isn't enough shootings now without you saying " That kid should have shot him " I hope you do not have a LTC ...... :(

Kev

so your anwer is yes.


In the same way you're telling me you'd risk prison in an attempt to exact some vigilante justice on the man. Legal fees have a way of adding up fast. I'm sure your kid would understand that you'd rather spend you evenings playing catch with him than playing cards with the homies.

Having just watched the video on MSNBC, the whole incident lasted just a few seconds and basically consisted of one push from the Dad. His son was being pinned by an unusual and uncomfortable move by the victor, and probably acted to relieve his sons pain. The referee had just blown his whistle to stop the match when the man came rushing onto the mat and pushed the boy. The other father, who filmed the incident, was later interviewed and was upset with the incident but used his better judgment in not getting involved. The offending father will be banned for sure, and the non-retaliation by the other dad will assure him a place ringside at his sons matches. I'm sure there are some other underlying competitive factors between the parties that remain unsaid.

Ya, beating the guy would not be worth playing cards with the homies or laying a bunch of cash out for a legal battle.

very interesting opinions, it all comes down to this, doing the right thing..or doing something you feel is right "Justice" sometimes you have to take care of business ...is banning the guy from all sports enough? maybe? and what would your kids think? if you don't act when your son is being handled by a "man" if the guys going to act like that, then he better be ready to deal with a man..there is a zero tolerace in high school for fighting, here..well my son was being picked on and walked away..then the kid came after him again with other students watching this whole ordeal, after the kid came after him again then my son defended himself, well both were suspended for three days..i was very upset cause i raised my kids to walk away like i would have but then when you are cornered then you better come up on them hard, cause there is no other way, the high school adm. told me thats zero tolerance and they both fought..well i told them my son was not in trouble as a matter of fact, i told them that i was taking him out for ice cream for doing the right thing..now you have an adult" in this case the teen can't defend himself, thats what us Dads are for to protect them. this guy was a man so he needed to be treated like one, if someone feels like they could just come in on my son like that then they better be ready to back it up..thats all i have to say.

Let's see - if you didn't see the damned :D in the post - then yes, dead serious :sad:

Oh, and I do have an LTC policy as an addendium to my general life/health policy, as well as an valid AMD - so bring it on ...

Yours sadly;

How many times has somthing like this gone on with kids and sports?
I guess that jack a** thought he was protecting his son as all of us would do in other sircumstances. The problem is There are alot of border line head cases out there who can't control themselves in situations such as that.:wacko:
I'm sure he sat there brewing because his kid was about to loose and as a coach and father it must have had him so pissed that he just erupted.
For all we know his kid prolly got his but kicked again when he got home...
They made a couple of movies about things such as this. I believe the guy should be sent to a shrink and have some anger management classes. There is no excuse for what he did and if the parrents of the other boy do not press charges i really hope the local police do. what we have all witnessed was assault... probably on a minor.
I'm all for a little hidden justice and the problem these days is that you never know who has a camera...heck two thirds of the phones have video capabilites. So wear a mask and kick their a**.:boxing:

The :D was not in your post ..its in the Thread heading. A LTC is a License To Carry not something you add as a part of any type of insurance policy. Go take a chill pill..... :)

Yup - it's in the heading, right where I put it ...

In California it's a CCW - ask me how I know this ;)
An "LTC" in this state is a Long Term Care rider provision to your insurance (personal) that says they will take care of me for a long-time (get it) if I do get shot again someday and don't recover as fast as I did last time.
My AMD tell's them what to do if I'm not gonna recover so a bunch of people with 'my best interests in mind' don't keep me living with a machine :noway:

Think I'll just go take a scotch on the rocks - if it's okay with you;

I barely caught the video on a news teaser and it had no sound but what I saw was the kid pinned and he was waving his arm like they do when they give up. But the kid didn't stop and then I saw the Dad rush in and yank or tackle the kid off his son. I'm not sure if I wouldn't have done the same thing if it was my kid underneath and in apparent agony. The referee should have stopped it the moment the kid on the bottom surrendered. If I watch the whole thing again with sound my opinion might change but from what I saw the kid on the bottom was waving his arm to stop and the only guy stopping it was the Dad. Ban me ,arrest me , shoot me, but my Kid is safe. Those of you with kids try looking at it from that angle.

If you go to MSNBC and look at the video you will see that the eventual victor is initially on the bottom and executes a reversal, which the referee signals. Two seconds later the ref signals 2 points, 3 seconds later the victor releases his hold and establishes a position on top of the vanquished, the ref blows his whistle and reaches for the top wrestler. Before he can get his hand on him, a man arrives and pushes the top wrestler across the mat. The whole incident, from the beginning of the reversal to father arriving took about 6 seconds.

Any one know a link of a vid someone might of cought?

go to www.MSNBC.com and type in wrestler at search bar

There ya go!

Disregard my previous post. After watching the video..the Dad is a dope......

Looks like just another modern day jerk that thinks he has the right to do whatever he wants, without consequence. Unfortunately the only thing he would understand is getting his butt kicked.

This type of thing is becoming more and more common at kids sporting events. It was pretty common for parents to get into it when my son was into all the peewee sports. At a soccer game one of the 'officials' came off the field and got into a shoving match with a parent in the bleachers. A dad did the same thing at one of the softball games.

It even goes on at highschool functions now. We just went to our highschool basketball game the other night and the opposing team's fans were completely out of line. Yelling and cussing at the refs, and our players. They even started chanting during the national anthem. :sad:

Peoples behavior in this country has gone down the tubes in the past 10-20 years. When did 'attitude' become a desireable trait anyway????

Mark

I think it's perceived as being more common because more and more sporting events are being videotaped and shared on the internet. It's also big news, generates income for the networks, 15 minutes of fame for the participants and even gets some attention on the Camaro bulletin boards.

My old college professor told us one day in class that "good news does not make money, Human nature likes dirt" ......(just a quote from a journalism professor) Happy Motoring

My opinion is that parents apply FAR too much importance to sports in general. While sports is fundamental in teaching teamwork, perseverance, pride, discipline and MANY other quality attributes to a becoming a well rounded person....parents and kids are under far to much pressure because of athletics. They are GAMES...meant for enjoyment. They are not the be all end all of life.

No where is this more prevelent than in Professional athletics...these guys get away with everything simply because they are athletes. It is even bleeding into college athletics.

I have played most sports, was even a "professional' athlete for a while (PGA Professional). I encourage my son, and will encourage my daughter to play sports....but not to the point where I live vicariously through them...or they believe that sports is all there is.

Just my thoughts.
