    This is disgusting. What are we teaching our kids?

    Peyton Manning didn't. You remember that? That's tough to come up with the film. But I believe it was in a Indianapolis Colts vs. New Orleans. Or it may not have been Manning.. It could have been Aaron "my cuz is a dog killer" Brooks. I'm not sure. One time Manning tried to act like they were going to the locker room at half and tried to run back for a play before the half. That was in a game against the Titans.

    I do remember that Peyton crap play.
    The coach of the team in the clip must be a Colts fan.
    What a cheesy, chumpass play to call. That "coach" is obviously on some kind of warped ego trip, instead of being a responsible model for youth.
    Parents take note of that, and get involved in your child's activities, like youth sports, so they don't get guidance from jerks like the coach in that video.
     
  8. I don't think this stuff has a place in peewee leagues.

    That said, at least it will teach kids the value of paying attention...

    Exactly. He's the guy at work you always avoid because he's standing at the water cooler bragging about the record of a peewee team. I'm all for instilling competitive spirit in children, but not at the price of good sportsmanship.

    The crowd reaction is pretty pathetic as well. If parents didn't cheer for that nonsense it would stop. I'd pull my kid off that team in a heartbeat.
