And if anyone wants to further question why the culture of football has gotten to where it has...

I submit this FOX Sports lowlight from...

... the Florida youth football leagues.

(Yes, the very same Florida youth football leagues that have drug ganglords paying the top players as the only means to keep roofs over their (and their parents') heads.)

So it should stand as no surprise when this happens:

A coach, upset over a call in the game, charges the official.

Then the players on his team start doing the same. Watch #6 especially, who now faces felony charges for the same assault of a game official I discussed in a post on this blog a number of months back (this post, the first story of two Florida stories thereon) when he full-blown bulldozes the official and then stands over him like a conquering little piece of shit.

Now adults are coming out of the stands to continue the fracas -- one tries to kick the official in the head.

And judging by the look of the ages of the players, this would be right up the gamblers' wheelhouse. This looks like this is probably as a result of the gambling going on in the stands.

Shut the whole fucking thing down...

NOW.

UPON FURTHER REVIEW: Here's another one, same source.

This one is in Texas. Mass brawl breaks out at a Pee-Wee game when someone decides to basically lead with his helmet to flip another player on a kickoff return (which eventually goes all the way for a touchdown).

(The block is at about the 6-8 second mark of the clip.)

Both teams have been banned from the playoffs of this league for this season, one coach has been permanently barred for life from Pee-Wee football.

But this is the kind of mentality which football has brought -- ON ALL LEVELS -- to America.

And you wonder why incidents like the one in Ohio have to be called...

SECOND EDIT: Yahoo!'s blog has picked up on the Florida youth story, with about six minutes of raw footage of this reprehensible event.
