http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...-allegedly-tackled-while-leaving-browns-game/ I don't have children but I'm pretty sure I would have bludgeoned that prick until someone pulled me off of him!
According to Rex's philosophy, does this mean we have to tackle two 8 year old Browns fans at our next game against Cleveland?
"he boy’s father did not report the incident to police. Instead, the father decided to continue to their car and leave." no fucking way. no fucking way. if that was my kid, i'm not typing this right now, i'm in jail.
I'm guessing it's not as serious as it sounds. If it was serious as a grown man tackling an 8 year old no way the father would let it go, and no way he would only have a scrape on his ankle.
Damn straight. Because what the child needs in that situation is the even more upsetting situation of watching his dad trading lumps with some pissed up neanderthal idiot. Grow the fuck up. If it's your eight year old kid and you're really thinking about him rather than your own childish pride, the first thing you want to do is get him away from said dickhead. The very next thing you want to do is restore normality, not start a situation of escalated violence. You're on your own, go ahead and knock seven bells out of some tool who decides to tackle you. You see them do it to someone else's kid, the only way you're beating the shit out of that guy is if you get to him before me. But if it's your boy, you just made the exact worst choice.
This is true, but it may not be the best idea to fight back against a drunken man in their home stadium. The boy's father probably would have been gang-assaulted into oblivion while his son watches. If it happens in the driveway in front of your house, it's different. You tell sonny to run inside while you break every individual bone in that guy's body.. slowly.
So someone tackles your kid and you're gonna sit there like a pussy and do nothing? Fuuuuuck that, someone is getting dragon-kicked through a windshield if I were in the fathers shoes.
Like I said, the first thing I'm going to do is make sure my boy's OK and only after I'm sure of that will I worry about taking revenge. Maybe your machismo is more important to you than your son's development, I don't happen to share that view. If the report is accurate, then I'm giving props to the guy for not making his eight year old son have to watch his dad in a fight. Seriously, do you think that would be good parenting? "Look at me son, this is what real men do - VIOLENCE!!!"
It's excellent parenting. If I was 8 and a grown man steamrolled me I would expect my dad to mollywhomp the motherfucker.
my roommate once told me a story of how his dad beat the shit out of this guy at the Vet (in philly, not where you take your poodle) who was drunk and spilling beer on his mom, he was young at the time....being the social scientist that i am, i asked my roommate what he thought/how he reacted to the situation, and he basically told me "i thought it was awesome seeing my dad beat teh shit out of some guy and defending my mom." my response was how it was sad that i personally had never seen my father display such an act of toughness like that, but his father had, it made me feel "less" in an weird unexplainable sense. point is...im sure your son will be proud to know that his father, when placed in hypothetical situation, the "flight" response acts first in "fight or flight" response...and when he goes to school and tells his friends "guess what my dad did?" he'll be proud to share: "my dads was a pussyassbitch and got us out of a potentially bad situation...im sooo proud to be his son"
I'm thinking there's more to this story. Maybe the guy was drunk and stumbled onto the kid. I think "tackled" is an exaggeration. if there was no police recourse or physical it's hard to believe it was that serious
