I was at a tournament this summer with several different age groups. When I was walking to my car I saw two kids, two teammates....I assume this because they were both wearing the same jerseys fighting on a piece of grass between two fields. One had his jersey half ripped off and a bloody nose and the other was cut below the eye and bleeding. They looked to be about 15. I sort of paused and thought of finding their coach....but, then I saw him, standing off to the side recording it on his phone.
So, there you go.
I had a PE teacher/football coach in high school that would have two guys come in after school and fight in the gym if they wanted to fight. Boxing gloves, a mat down on the ground, head gear. When one guy was done, he made them shake hands and told them it was settled. If they got caught fighting again they would be suspended and removed from the team they were on. Seemed to work pretty well.
A coach taping a fight between two 15 yr old teammates is pathetic.
Oh, I agree. I found it....well, it made me sort of angry and sort of just amazed at the stupidity of this guy. This guy is really teaching life lessons, huh? Pathetic is the right word.
