Via Drudge, we hear about a Tee Ball coach who allegedly paid one of his players to injure another player on the team who is mentally disabled and therefore, not very good.
What the hell is wrong with this idiot? How did this sack of excrement get in a position of coaching youths? What is so vital about a Tee Ball game that you feel a need to win at, clearly in this case, any cost? I cannot be the only one troubled by this incident. From the story,
During pre-game warm-ups, Mark Reed Downs Jr. offered one of his players $25 to hit the 8-year-old boy in the head with a baseball, according to a police news release.After speaking with Downs, the second player hit the victim near his left ear and in the groin area, leaving him unable to play in that night's game, state police said."The coach seemed to find excuses not to play this child because he wasn't that talented," Trooper Thomas Broadwater told Channel 4 Action News. "On the 27th, the child was basically beaned in the head with a baseball."
A fitting sentence would be to allow a group of disabled children to practice their swings on him, literally. Stuff like this just pisses me off!
