I have seen many ridiculous things in my day...

This is another example of the culture of football running fucking amok.

We now have a coach in Utah, a 45 year-old "man" who decided that it was so important for the team he was coaching to win that he charges a 13 year-old opponent, hits him with a forearm, knocks him out, and gives him a concussion and injures him for at least a month of down-time.

The link on Yahoo! Sports even has video of the incident.

When I was a statistician at my old high school, I had a collision like that.

You don't stick your forearm under the kid's chin, idiot.

In the immortal words of that former football coach at Oklahoma State:  "Why don't you come after me?  I'm a man!  I'm 40!!"

(Well, 43, but...)

You just have to be so into the bloodthirsty bullshit in football that you have to knock out and concuss a 13-year-old KID.

(Hat-tip to an anonymous friend who pointed out this latest insane bullshit to me.)
