State Cup

i walked around quite a bit and watched tidbits of boys and girls up in the far off land of Lancaster.

I saw stuff like this on almost every field, boys and girls.


Also saw way more yellow cards to coaches than I have in the last ~6 years.

What is the point of posting pictures of a minor when emotions appear to have gotten the best of her?

Are you hoping to bring it to her attention, her parents or the coach's attention, CalSouth or the refs?

I don't even know if it is legal to post something like this about a minor.

I'm with you on this, I think its pathetic that an adult would post pictures, or support posting pictures, of a minor in an attempt to publicly shame a child. If you have a problem with it take it to the appropriate association. Yeah, they might not do something about it but, that doesn't make it OK to dish out internet vigilante justice on a minor.

Was it a foul deserving of a card, absolutely. However, we don't know the context. I've seen normally mellow kids lose their temper and do something stupid on the pitch after getting continually hacked during the game. We've all done things we regret and how would we like it to be posted on a public forum? We don't earn the designation "Deputy of Fair Play" just because we're a member on this forum.

If you can't get over the kids rough play, then act like an adult and have the balls to show those pictures directly to the parent.

Bullshit, 4 years of pretty high level club soccer and I have seen this once or twice, almost every game?
Come on.

It's state cup; so not high level soccer. IMO, the lower levels are far more physical than the higher levels which are trying to play actual soccer

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I didn't see this particular mugging in every game, I saw out-of-order physical play all over the place, different fields at different times, but never constrained to just one gender or club, or one pool.
 
Maybe it wasn't an adult that took and posted the picture?
Maybe the kid doing the cattle roping was trying to get on Instagram to get a bunch of new followers?
#Worldstar!!!!!

Got it, my daughter was on the receiving end of a shitty trip after she went around a defender after scoring 2 goals against the same defender earlier in the game and broke her arm.
I know it happens, but 6 weeks in a cast sure sucks.
Peace.

Samsung just likes shaming kids. Having a camera gives him the opportunity. Yes, it looks like the girl is guilty of committing a hard and unnecessary foul. But she is a kid. She was presumably called for a foul, and that should be the end of it. Keep these things on the field. Samsung is a grown-up. Samsung wants to stigmatize a girl, and that should never be allowed. A kid committing a foul should told, taught and forgiven. A grown-up who puts it online for the purpose of forever shaming the kid is a baby and a jackass. He (or she) is the real thug.

She is not a “kid” she is a teenager that knows exactly what she is doing!.

Unfortunately, that is the same logic some unsavory adults use for other misdeeds. I get it, your emotional because your daughter broke her arm, I'd be pissed too; however, a minor is a minor. It's not OK for an adult to post a picture of a minor for purposes of shaming one in public regardless of the rationalization.

I was in Lancaster, I saw the paramedics twice taking a couple of kids to the hospital. A few teams had 3 red cards and several had 2 red cards over the weekend games. One kid pulled back the arm of another kid until he took him down to the ground. Maybe it was the wind but it was very physical for the 2003 boys age group in Lancaster last weekend.
 
Soccer's physical.
Sports are emotional.
Players play to win.
Some teams play aggressive.
Injuries are part of the game.

People need to stop crying wolf because we all know exactly what we signed our kids up for.

The original poster's a complete clown for posting these pictures that explain absolutely nothing more then his daughter got throttled and he wasn't happy about it.

Agree. The OP's images are completely without a context and are three slices of continuing play. We know nothing of preceding events, or where the ball is.

Maybe OP's kid is the one throttling and not the other way around.... Or is it even OP's kid in the image? Just saying...

I don't agree with this at all. The photos appear to identify a malicious physical attack from behind that was intended to hurt another child, and by someone who is old enough to know better. It also seems very unlikely this was the perpetrator’s first or even second incident because people don’t typically snap perfectly framed action photos of attacks away from the action unless they expect it to happen.

If a player is a menace who risks intentionally hurting other children, I see nothing wrong in letting others should know about it. If shaming this kid and her parents deters future similar behavior, the person who posted the photos should get a medal. And perhaps this kid will learn that actions have consequences before she does something even more stupid that gets posted on the internet or lands her in jail.

Who are we trying to protect? Kids who hurt other children? Or their victims?

I wasn’t speaking about the posting of a picture but I was speaking to excusing the teenager because she was a “Kid”.

My sincere apologies to you.

My comment still stands for the others here that thinks its OK because they are teenagers. I guess I wasn't aware that soccer fouling teenage girls were such a threat to humanity.

Pathetic.......most pathetic post I've seen in long time. "malicious physical attack" .. Please

It's just a game. It ends once the ref blows the whistle.

Nothings criminal here except the fact you drive on the same roads as I do.

Nice. A graduate of the Trump school of debate, replete with ad hominem attacks. Because you want to go down that road, I’m not surprised that you must resort to personal attacks instead of substantive discussion - or by your opinion - since you seem to fit the Texas high school football coach stereotype perfectly. Given your inability to grasp fundamental concepts in grammar, punctuation and spelling, I hope they didn’t let you teach while you were there.

Technically, the child’s behavior probably was a criminal battery if, as it appears, it occurred off the ball and not in self-defense. I’m glad law enforcement has better things to do, however, especially because public shaming and hopefully a red card are likely to be sufficient. I would have thought a tough guy like you would recognize that a few pictures like these on the internet aren’t going to ruin anyone’s life. But maybe you are one of those snowflake parents raising children to be so emotionally soft that they can’t handle it? Like you said, it’s just a game. So why are so agitated?

First why does everyone has to resort to political attacks? There is a place for that on the forum if you want to discuss political views.
Second that for the laugh, criminal battery. That's a good one.
Finally since things on this forum will not ruin anyone's life, why don't you tell us who you are?

No. You’re stuck with me as is. No Trumpian bully is ever going to deter me by trying to out me from the deep state.
