OT: Teen girl runs onto football field, lights up an opposing player, charged with assault

This is what we are up against.
They should have armed guards and retina scanners at these middle school football games and I hope everyone including the fan who had to witness this gets grief counseling so they don't end up as drug addicts. But, I especially feel for the players who've trained their whole lives for this moment only to have it belittled in a flash by a 16 year old girl in jean shorts.

Probably about 1980 I was pitching in a little league game at about 7 or 8 years old. Our team was horrible, playing against the best team in the league. It was coached by the father of classmate who was well connected and clearly picked his players. I struck out my classmate to end the game, the coach’s son. The father/coach absolutely launched on the umpire claiming it was a foul tip that the catcher dropped so he shouldn’t be out. It was frightening. It was so bad that I remember hearing that that father was banned from coaching any youth sports in my town for two years. As a result of that incident, I never played little league baseball again out of fear of getting stuck with a nutjob like that.

That is pure redneck! Hilarious. They could have used that in Varsity Blues.
Son played football for Decatur hs in Georgia 12 years ago. And not sure exactly what the issue was but multiple fathers from both sides stormed field and started fighting each other players coaches. Police came on to field both teams went to locker room and game was done!
Through coaching and AD stuff I’ve seen a whole lot of crazy things here in Maryland. Not all just in Baltimore city either, Anne Arundel, Howard, Montgomery, Prince Georges, Southern Maryland, all of them have their fair share of nuts.
I have seen parents run out onto the field or court to attack an official or referee, an opposing player, an opposing coach and even their own coach.
I’ve seen plenty of fights in the bleachers, parents on parents, parents on kids, same team different team, all the above.
For one football playoff game, we had about 9000 in attendance and had one woman crawling along the ground, trying to sneak through the ticket area to get in and then later we had a cloud of smoke appear over the student section that was so big that the fire department came.
This was not at my home field, but as AD at the opposing stadium for a football game on Friday night, we had a streaker with a very well planned escape. Coming from under the scoreboard the end of the field they ran the entire distance of the field. Had a friend who had moved a chair to right in front of the fence so they could propel themselves over and catch a ride on a dirt bike from their partner to get them off of school grounds quickly.

No sheet. My stepson was a decent sized kid weighing in at 105lbs when he played LT in middle school. I would rather have that unpadded 16 year old girl hit him from behind than the two 190lb and 195lb behemoths that lined up opposite from him on defense during one of his games. He got anything he wanted from DQ that night.
Okay, that is 10 lbs more. Now go up against kids 75 and 80lbs heavier than you wearing a helmet and full pads. Or like my stepson, 85 and 90lbs heavier (and taller) than him. Small town team playing a bigger city team.
I was proud of him just to have the courage to go out and compete. His middle school football playing led to needing shoulder surgery before leaving high school. Their coach had them running Oklahoma drills in practice. Middle school. A little too young IMO.

I did. We had kids that were 180 in middle school. My point is that girls can still take on guys at that age.
All the talk about diminishing tackling skills should subside. As should comments by active coaches such as "you tackle like a girl."Teen faces criminal charges after tackling middle school football player, says she was protecting her brother

We have girls wrestling varsity against boys in high school under our "mixed competition" guidelines in NYSPHSAA. While girls wrestling has created its own sport (different rules) folkstye vs freestyle, small schools that don't have the numbers to field separate teams operate this way. Especially in the lighter weights the young ladies are quite competitive.
Watch the film - her brother was being punched and beaten on the other side of the field. A flag had been thrown in that area by the ref - obviously she took the punches thrown by the other kid and reacted. BUT - the overzealous 'authorities' are making something out of this 'flagrant violation' and inciting activity. It's football on the field - learn to take care of yourself, and hit the other kid first - or something like that.
I can't speak for today's generation. But in my day, the only thing worse than your older sister coming to rescue you would be if your mother ran to save you,
Like in Dazed and Confused when Burnett’s mother pulls a shotgun on O’Bannion.
