    Looks like child abuse although (hopefully) that clip glorified the absolute worst of the worst.

    I hate pop warner football, absolutely hate it.

    I think organized tackle football shouldn't be allowed until at least middle school. Full contact football is dangerous to begin with, add in untrained kids throwing their heads at each other. Most of these kids are gonna be taking blows to the head for a decade before they even finish high school.

    I'd be OK with flag football, but at this age it's irresponsible.

    No kidding. Especially in children that are still developing physically. Truly eye-opening.

    OTOH...Texas being Texas.

    The Jr. Broncos coach seems like a real tool.

    I've heard that Charles Chavarria has a hard time getting around town now because of the show. Well deserved suspension in my opinion. He should have just been banned for life, honestly. Telling 9 year olds to hit their opponents in the earhole to intentionally injure the other team?? Pathetic doesn't even describe that.....
