It's a foul play deserving a free kick in the behind.
A controversial video has surfaced showing a father forcing his young son to run alongside his car for “football training” while using expletives to encourage him go faster.
The tiny tot, appearing only 5-years old, does his best to stay up to the vehicle's speed while running in Crocks, but as the video shows, it's not good enough.
"We're going eight miles per hour. Come on. Pick that s--t up," the unidentified father calls.

I was OK with it till I got to the age.
How did idiots and low-life bass-turds manage to promote there evilness before You-tube and Facebook?
I’m no fan of state-run Child Protective Services, but this idiot makes a very good case for why we need them.
It’s not easy undoing the emasculation being done to boys by the schools. Raising a boy to live in the 1940’s in the 2000’s will not end well for the boy, UNFORTUNATELY.
running in ‘crocs’???? I don’t care what age you are no one can run in those things. I bet this ‘father’ is a fat o tub of lard who gets his jollies by bullying others. What a class A jerk. Hope the mom lets dad have what for
Oh my .... big deal. The kiddo didn’t seem bothered by it. It didn’t appear his daddy was running him for even a block. Anyone bothered by that has problems of their own, imo. I’m glad this little boy seems to have a father who cares.
Amazing how idiots convict themselves on youtube.
I have to see this video
you don’t do this crap to a five year old. If dad is such a hot shot football expert he ought to be out there running with him. This isn’t raising a strong son. This is flat out abusive and I hope his wife gives him an ear full

Watching the video, LOL, what a moron.
you apparently have no ability to recognize a look of terror in a youngster’s eyes. This kid was terrified. The father is no doubt over weight and out of shape. If dad was such a hot shot at football he ought to be out there working out with his son. Dad is a lazy a$% fool
This would’ve been okay in 1940, but it’s not 1940. That was my point. My dad was the guy in that car. Look how I turned out. LOL
“I dont want to hear your excuses”
Is this satire?
got it…. my dad ran the hell out of us but he ran along side not this craziness… at least you know it is not 1940 ;)
Ummm...how many 5 year olds can run a 7:30 mile?
Father?
Hardly.................
Unfortunately her father was typical of the one in this story and he was a verbal tyrant at every one of her races...There were times when he reduced her to tears.
She never made it to college, perhaps due to the driving and abusive behavior of her father, I suspect he drove her out of running..........
I heard that after Stormy dropped out of running, the father then focused his attention on her younger sister......
“Run faster or I will run you over. That’s it, I knew you had more in you”
This guy belongs on MSNBC caught on camera.
The real problem is that parents have an unrealistic expectation of athletics. If this dad was running alongside the the kid, I'd have felt better.
Regardless of his age, if he was really “training for football” he would not have been wearing a pair of “crocs”.
This kids father is a major-league jackass.
