Disgusting Punishment for a 6-year-old Football Player

A father punished a 6-year-old child for not paying attention during football practice. This makes me sick. He actually made the child run over a mile. Honestly, I couldn't believe it when I heard it.

You can read the article here. According to various articles, the child was forced to run approximately 1 mile. I'm certain that if the police felt strong enough to arrest the father, then this punishment was not appropriate.

Please remember that youth sports are simply youth sports. Kids, especially at age 6, should be having fun and learning to enjoy the game.
