Pop Warner coach punches parent

http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2009/10/wilmington_pop.html

A parents drops off his 12-year-old to practice 10 minutes late. The coach tells the kid to run laps. The parent objects and an argument ensues. Eventually the coach punches the parent, causing some fairly serious facial injuries.

 

Shocking.

 

About time the coaches started fighting back.

 

i dunno, peewee coaches are pretty much on the same level as parents when it comes to annoyance so i'd call it a wash.

 

Ya, I'm sure that was said in a joking manner. Sounds to me like he got what he deserved.

 

I'm not sure anything is on the same annoyance level as sports parents, especially pre-high school.

Well, maybe this:

 

Dunno. The torn rotator cuff would be from hitting the ground, and depending on the blow, damage like a broken nose and eye socket can be done with one shot.

I don't know anything about the case, just saying it's possible.

Edit: Were there witnesses?

 

That's God damned right.

 

You're a hater!

 

The nose and eye socket are plausible, but rotator cuff injuries usually don't occur from a single trauma like hitting the ground, do they? Seems it would be more likely to happen in a scuffle.

 

Not you, too.

 

Unless it was some bolo punch, or an attempt at one, no.

Broken collarbone or something else fractured in the shoulder is believable, but torn rotator cuff? That would have to be a really awkward trip to Mother Earth.
