“Let the kids play” is something a lot of parents say when watching youth sports. However, one Wisconsin parent decided he wanted to become part of the action in a wild scene.
Last Saturday in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, a parent rushed the field during a U-10 football game and tripped a 9-year-old kid who was on his way to scoring a touchdown. The kid was running toward the pylon when the parent ran onto the field and stuck his leg out, taking out the runner.
The man who tripped the kid was found by Mount Pleasant police and was given a citation for disorderly conduct, according to FOX 6. He reportedly admitted he was wrong and was cooperative with authorities. The tripped player’s coach, Channing Schultz, said the man intended to hurt the kid.

“I have seen adults fight, I have seen fights at youth events, I have seen stuff happen, but I have never in my life seen a grown man come on the field,” Schultz told FOX 6. “He was so committed and determined to hurt – he wanted to hurt him. He had nothing but intent.”
Schultz’s Case Eagles play the Milwaukee Colts again in two weeks, and he said the Colts have banned the parent from games. The tripper was the father of a kid on the opposing team.

“All my kids are special, but he’s one of my kids that has a natural God-given ability, and it didn’t surprise me that he got up and was ready to play again. He is a very soft-spoken kid, you wouldn’t know if he was happy or sad, but he is the hardest worker extremely talented.”
