Life So, got in a brawl tonight - Page 15

Ok, so I'm an asst coCh of a 10u baseball team. Had a game tonight. I sorta sit off to the side and watch. I'm more of a practice coach.

Anyhow, I notice a dad bitching at the head coach and cussing at an asst coach in front of the boys. He called a coach "shit for brains".

Sooo, guy takes his kid and leaves the game in the 2nd inning. Calls coach a deuche? And I say " if you'd called me that, I'd be punchin your teeth in (. Building up biz). So guy comes back, gets in my face, I out him in a choke hold, and he gives. Takes his boy home. Sad deal. Soooo, I sent an email to aPologize for the whole thing , and the guy says he
Ll believe I'm sincere if I send it to all the Parents. Reeally?
What would y'all do?

This isn't the first incident with this parent, so throw that in and my trigger was a bit quick anyhow.

This is more what I expected to see from Tooge.

Wasn't that the whole point?

What is the actual definition of a brawl, anyway? My definition would be this:

1. Must involve six or more people.

Plus

2. No weapons that are actual weapons. All weapons must be improvised.

Plus

3. There are more than two teams in the brawl.

Plus any two of the following three

a. Someone gets thrown through a window.
b. Someone gets hit in the back with a chair.
c. Someone gets thrown through a swinging door of some kind.

Am I correct?

If that's not the official definition it needs to be.

The fucking guy was leaving and the tantrum was over. An appropriate response would be to let the guy know that, while his son is welcome to play out the rest of the season, he has lost the privilege of attending games as he cannot conduct himself properly in public. Then the coaches could explain to the rest of the children after the game that behavior like that is ann embarrassment, is unacceptable, and will not be tolerated.

As it stands, Tooge and the other guy should both be banned from future games for their behavior. Frazod should also be banned for having such a stupid opinion and being a poor example of acceptable body composition for these young, aspiring athletes.

And you should be banned for being a giant vagina who only finds women attractive if they're built like 8-year-old boys.

I'm sure your bitch ass runs away from everything. The good news is, it sounds like you run pretty fast. :-)

psst, it was one of those clear plastic knives that you see at picnics. I think it was clear, or white. I don't really remember. That second bottle of Jack Daniels blurred my recollection a bit. Also, I think I dismembered him after beheading him. I found a foot in the back of my truck. The shoe on it was pretty douchy, so it was probably his foot. Either way, I'm staying away from the whiskey for a few days.

Eye gouges and ear biting are also acceptable.

I would also allow ice picks.

Pennies fit better imo and are cheaper.

Spiked rings should also be permitted.

I think ice picks fall into the "improvised weapons" category, so this is good.

Steal toe boots?

Belt buckles?

All good. I think they're allowed in a brawl since their designed use isn't as a weapon. Cigarettes, ball point pens, saliva, and snow globes are allowable, too.

However, I think ball point pens should not be allowed in melee. Brawl, yes. Melee, no.
