Not surprised and the bad news is this type of stuff is becoming too common. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I don't think this is a good thing for 9/10 year old children to see, but sadly I'm sure some will disagree!

Is this that guy who kept pestering the coach to give his son a certain jersey number?

Travel ball is competitive and mom wants little Jayden to be a star.

Back when our dads watched and coached in the 70s and 80s, they put up dukes instead of guns like real men.

Small price to pay for someone trying to derail Jayxson’s MLB career.

My coworkers hubby is the volunteer football coach for our local private school. He coaches 3rd and 4th graders with most of the starters being 4th grade.

He got an unhinged Fb message from an aunt of a third grader about how “they’re not a team” and how unfair it is for little Peyton to ride the bench. Coach’s own kid is in third and also rides the bench!

"I ran, and he shot me in the back. I fell and he shot me a couple more times."

No one else, including the children that witnessed the shooting, was injured. Clemmons turned himself in to police and faces charges of first-degree assault and armed criminal action.

--

First degree assault. No attempted murder.

Latimore said the gunman then stood over him, taunting him and pacing back and forth.

“After he shot me,” Latimore recalled, “he was like ... ‘I told you I was going to pop your (expletive).’”

SO many shite parents out there now. No way you could get me to coach anything extracurricular nowadays. It's getting harder and harder to find coaches and game officials.

Faces assault charges? Really? Assault? Not attempted murder? The parent should get the death penalty and it shouldn't even be questioned, they shot a volunteer coach for not playing their kid enough. This is a no brainer that the world doesn't need this person.
