Youth sports are cooked

Coach should be charged with child endangerment. He knowingly instructed a child to hurt other children.

My boy’s heart and soul is in soccer, but we wanted to try out something new for him so he chose baseball. It’s so crazy to me the amount of money that goes into youth baseball. League fees, uniform fees, ump fees. The kids imidiatly started making fun of him because my son didn’t have the flashiest gear. Kids started calling him “Drip-less J”. My son didn’t get care he just wanted to play. He outplayed everyone on that team. These kids played baseball since pewee league. My sons first time touching a baseball was at 12 years old. Ultimate he chose soccer and I am so glad he did. He plays for the local pro team academy with good prospects for the future.

The USSSA initially faced heavy backlash because the umpires on-site allowed the Oklahoma team to continue playing and did not immediately forfeit the game after the ball hit a Nebraska player in the dugout.However, following a massive public outcry and viral circulation of the incident, the coach has reportedly been banned from major organizations and the player has been suspended indefinitely

If my kid was the one that got smoked, everyone's catching a fade!

Very surprised at least one angry dad didn't handle that coach himself

Private Equity is already ruining youth sports and it's already been ruined by way too competitive toxic parents and toxic coaches

That’s insane. That coach should be fired from the team and then banned from coaching.

You hit my kid with ball in the dugout and we got a PROBLEM. F**k the tournament, f**k the police. Me and you coach, let’s go.

Oh it's all over Little League. I stopped coaching after a player in my dugout, swung a bat and deliberately hit a team mate. I yelled at him, surprisingly no expletives, but I got disciplined by the club for yelling at the kid who was malicious trying to injur a teammate. So, my kids now play hockey.

Why is there not criminal charges? That would stop this behavior real quick. You do that anywhere else and you go to jail wtf is different about being in a baseball field

All sports at all levels are cooked

I played little league in the 70s and there were times when pitches were thrown at a kid to " set him down" or " dust him off ". It's been part of the game forever, but throwing a ball into the dugout ? That's a new one 🤦🏼

News reports say the pitcher was suspended and the acting coach of the Oklahoma Eleven was BANNED from the league.

The common culture in youth baseball is to roast the opposition verbally constantly. And fights, arguments, and crazy things like a coach ordering a pitcher to throw at other players. And if that kid didn't throw at that dugout, the coach would have benched him forever. Because that's the crazy mentality of baseball. After playing it for close to 20 years, that part of it I don't miss at all. It's dumb and the coaches need to be held accountable for their players actions. The culture is beyond toxic.

Even when I was a kid my coaches would tell me to try to send people to the hospital. It’s always been an issue.

With how much money has been pumped into youth sports, it's become a lot more attractive to grown men who want to try and recapture their glory days and compete vicariously through other people's children.

Once $$$$$$$ is involved, everything changes. Sometimes not for the better.😑😑

That coach absolutely should have called the police 😮 A guy where I live died from a baseball throw to the head and he was about to go pro

"Sweep the leg, Johnny."

That’s the problem both coaches and parents think this is to win the World Series and win at all cost
