This is certainly a flagrant act IMO. And seriously if he hits the opponent right, he can cause a lot of harm (more then the thought of what it feels like to be hit there).

Now there is no rule that states a player must leave the field. A coach is a different story, they are adults. But you do not ever direct kids to go off the field, not that is necessarily what the officials told the team to do. I am not a fan of what you overheard the officials say out loud, but there is nothing in the rules that gives us the right to remove a player from the team area. Now if they become a problem then I would have the coach do something to remedy the situation, but it is on them to take that action. I know in basketball the rules are very clear that an ejected player should not be removed unless they are accompanied by an adult outside of the gym. That is the best guideline I have seen given for these kinds of situations. And the NF tends to take similar stances in rules of different sports for similar situations of sportsmanship and ejections. I do not remember the POE, but I have never heard that it was our right to remove a player the same way we would remove a coach.

Peace
