Out of Control child

Let him play tackle football he'll be humbled real quick

The blame is on the parents plain and simple

All the other kids are just standing around as if to say: "Yeah, well, here he goes again....".

That child knows he's holding up the entire game and getting all the attention. He's purposeful in his actions. Shows a significant lack of discipline on his parents' part.

Parents probably took him for ice cream after the game and said he was the best player on the field

My dad would've smashed my soul acting like this with sportsmanship

If this is the first time he's done this, suspend him for a game. After that, kick him off the team.

His mommy and daddy told him everyday, that he was the most special person ever!

It sure shows that kid never got yelled at for holding the flashlight in the wrong spot by his dad

My husband coached youth leagues for 21 years. I can tell you what he would have done in order. 1. Told the kid to get to the sideline immediately. 2. If he refused he would inform him that if he didn't he would not play for the next few games.. 3. If the kid refused and the parents were present he would have asked them to get him off the field, He would have told them they have 5 seconds to get him off the field or he was off the team. 4. If they didn't and although it would have hurt the other kids for something they didn't do, he would have stopped and forfeited the game AND the kid would be off the team. 5. Then on the sidelines and very LOUDLY he would have thanked ALL the other kids for being gentlemen, playing with sportsmanship and thanked their parents for supporting their children, and explained why he did it. A little public shaming of both the kid and his parents would maybe do some good. 6. Then because the other kids were probably feeling down, he would have taken all of them minus the brat, to go get ice cream. 7. If the parents went to the league, they would have gotten nowhere because my husband was usually League or Asst. League Director. To those who think the coaches should have just dragged him off the field: although that would be feel so good and teach the brat a lesson, unfortunately the same assholes who raised this kid would also probably sue you at the drop of a hat and the legal system being what it is, would probably have thrown my husband in jail.

That's a kid that's never been told "No."

Imagine how he (the kid) feels 8 years later, after 1.6 million people watched this video of him throwing a fit. 🤣

I feel for those coaches and ref I'm a baseball umpire and those situations can be so tough because ur dealing with someone else's kid

This is why we need to stop rewarding children when they lose.

I coached 6-8 yo girls fast pitch and had a girl act like this….but only when her mom wasn’t present. Her dad enabled it, it was always everyone else’s fault. One day she threw a fit on the field when she was called out, forgetting her mom was watching. We all watched as mom walked calmly onto the field, spanked the hell out of her, grabbed her arm, and yanked her off the field. Then she made her sit and watch the rest of the game, and afterwards made her apologize to the coaches, the players, AND the parents. It was EPIC. I wished someone was filming it!

If I were a game official this kid would have one minute to reach the sidelines or forfeit declared.

If I were the ref of the coach I would WANT someone recording this. So when the kid and parents come up with some BS statement that the kid was assaulted or something then I'm protected.

Why in the world aren't his parents coming to get him and making him listen?

Love how they turn focus from the deranged child to tell a parent not to film, lol, when I film my sons games I film the entire game...I'm not gonna sit there and press pause cause lil Jonny wants to throw a fit.

This is literally what happens when you give participation trophies and teach these kids they have options when they don't like a directive that was given
