Youth Football Coach Knocks out 13-year-old on opposing team...gives concussion
In one of the most disturbing incidents of outrageous parental behavior at a youth sporting event in memory, a 45-year-old Utah youth football coach has been arrested on investigation into second-degree felony child abuse after he gave an opposing 13-year-old player a concussion in the fourth quarter of a tied youth football game.
As reported by the Associated Press and a variety of Utah outlets, Payson, Utah, police arrested Nathan Harris under investigation of a charge of child abuse in connection with an incident in which he stepped off the sideline and leveled an oncoming running back with a forearm barge.
"As the 13-year-old ran down, Mr. Harris stepped out and hit him with his forearm under his chin," Payson police Sgt. Lance Smith told the AP. "And then Mr. Harris stepped back and just stood there."
The game's referee, David Durrant, ejected the coach immediately after the incident, while the unnamed boy in question was forced to remain out of the game and will now miss roughly a month of playing time as a result of the concussion he suffered from the impact, according to the AP.
