Brawl in youth football

[bluezebra]

I saw the homemade video on the local LA news (CH 5), once last night, and twice more this morning. The crowd was totally out of control. Not only the men, but women and some players were involved. On the video, I saw no officials involved.

One man was knocked repeatedly kicked in his body and his head, mainly by two brothers. The brothers have been arrested, and a third is being sought. I'm sure more arrests will follow. The two brothers, SURPRISE, SURPRISE, are former jailbirds. Men who tried to come to the aid of the victim were hit and pushed away. At least one was knocked out.

The scene reminded me, somewhat, of films from WWII, when citizens of the countries under control of the Nazis attacked those who had aided the Germans while occupied. At least they had a valid reason for their actions.

If anyone has any doubts as to why there is a terrible lack of officials for youth sports, watch the video.
