dad hits a 13 year old football player

Well you know what they say.

If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter.

 

I think this is ridiculous, and parents get way out of control. no one should be on a playing field who isnt a football player or ref.

there should be a separation between athletes and fans. anybody who crosses that line, which it could be an athlete attacking a fan, or a fan attacking an athlete...... should be fined and/or be punished by law.
