re: Little league football coach strikes 9 year old on the helmet over a bad play

I was fully expecting to be like "Man, my coach used to hit us in the helmet in baseball practice and games all the time, what's the big deal?"

And then I watched the video. Yeah, that's not okay and that coach deserves to get his arse kicked by someone.

Same.

Growing up in the 70's and 80's, we used to get slapped on the lid all the time, and out of anger and frustration by coaches. Not to mention the countless times I got screamed at for one thing or another. I'm usually watching stuff like these rolling my eyes at how soft everyone has become.

But that was...wow... Had I ever gotten hit like that by a coach, I'd still be holding a grudge about it to this day.
