This show is horrendous. Shows eight and nine year olds hitting helmet to helmet and coaches telling kids to hurt opposing players specifically. It should be pulled from TV. My understanding is that the league they are in also had whatever the NFLs designation of a program that holds itself to a specific standard for youth football.

It should most certainly not be television material, but unfortunately people watch television just for this type of stuff. And the broadcasters will continue to air it as long as it gets views. It's a terrible system.

That show is trash. Kids that age shouldn't be taking the game that seriously yet. Also the parents make me sick. One mom said "even I can hit better than that" talking about her own son.

I think the most redeeming scene in that show was when the coach and parents held the kid who had a concussion out. Kinda bringing awareness to the issue.
Beyond that, it seems like these coaches are taking the game too seriously for a bunch of 3rd graders. It's almost as bad as Dance Moms or Cheer Perfection, but for boys.

Heard/saw an ad for the program where one of the kids was throwing up. Coach and mother were both essentially telling him to quit being a wimp. Coach saying "let's go over there and blow some chunks". Mom telling him to get back on the field and keep running. There was no concern for the kid at all. Throwing up could be a sign of a serious medical issue, concussion, internal injury, or worse. I don't think those parents have any medical training and no clue about assessing medical issues. It was all about pushing the kids to the breaking point. Definitely not a positive image.

I never understood why people took pewee football/little league/ect too seriously. Aside from you, your kids, his teammates and their parents, no one gives a crap about how that team does. It's like how no one cares about your fantasy football team.

The things that really got me was 1) poor technique teaching 2) telling kids to cheat

So have Saban, Kiffin, or any of our other favorite coaches been seen scouting out their future rosters yet?
I can imagine folks that don't know anything about football but watch reality TV and 'care about the children' wanting to ban the entire sport...
Psycho peewee coaches from Texas? No.

I haven't seen the show, but it sounds exactly like how PeeWee football was when I played. We loved it.
