We Are the Coach Gone Wild


So last Saturday, this 36 year old father is watching his thirteen year old son play youth league football in Stockton. The 36 year old father is also an assistant coach on his son's team.

Anyways, the son gets hit on the play after the whistle blows and just as the ref goes to call the penalty, the dude, Cory Petero, runs out onto the field and cold cocks the thirteen year old kid who put the late hit on his son. Thus leading to a twenty minute melee and fight between the football players and parents.

The father, Cory, turned himself into police Saturday night where he was charged with child abuse. He is also threatened with being banned from coaching. Somewhere, Bobby Knight is jealous. And Soccer Dads everywhere go "hmmm...."

Good for him...The punk-ass kid deserved it for his cheap-shot.

Ahh geez! That happened at my soccer game when I was a kid. Pretty dang tootin sad when a parent or coach freaks out like that. Lock 'em up!!
