Regrettably they will all think they will go pro. They will “train” w some area guru that played juco, he will post hundreds of posts about all the dawgs he has under his tutelage


Then they will flunk out of school while making a 9 on the ACT. Their funerals will be full of theatrics and lots of airbrush shirts after they are shot and killed at 26.

But yes. Among certain cultures that is youth football

Coaches with headsets and play sheets. They all think they’re Deion Sanders.

We never had headsets. The HC did have a play sheet though. The way we called plays in is the players all had a wristband with the plays on it. Each play had a corresponding two digit number. He’d call whatever play he wanted to one of the assistants (usually me as I was the O & D line coach) and I’d write that number along with two dummy numbers on the white board. The players would know which two numbers were real and which were fake. Some games it was the first two, or maybe last two, or some other combination.

But that wasn’t U5 football either. This was 10U and 12 U years where we had that system.

And you wonder why you can't eat at Waffle House or take a cruise.

Football is black culture now. It’s their god given right to act trashy because of the terrible history they’ve endured

Don’t blame the kids. They’re innocent.

They’re doing what they were taught by the stupid adults in their lives.

The insanity? I officiated this for 25 years.i covered HS, and Semi Pro as well.

1. Betting on 10 up takes place in the stands.

2. When your weeks groceries are on the line, it’s easy to see why riots take place.

3 Then bigger they are, the more they fight.
