KERNERSVILLE, N.C. — UPDATE: ALL YOUTH FOOTBALL GAMES SCHEDULED AT THIS SCHOOL HAVE SINCE BEEN CANCELED.

Police were called to a high school in Kernersville about a fight that broke out during a youth football game Saturday, according to Winston-Salem city officials.

It happened at 11:14 a.m. at Glenn High School located at 1600 Union Cross Road during a football game that involved 6-year-old athletes.

Winston-Salem police said some people had guns and one person was hitting people with a hammer on the field.

Once officers arrived, they found multiple people arguing and still fighting.

A man was found with a head injury after someone took a blow to his head with a sledgehammer prop. The victim was taken to a hospital to be treated for a non-life-threatening injury.

No children were reported injured.

Police had to separate the unruly crowd to keep them from fighting.

An investigation showed that a man crossed the field to confront the other team before several adults from both teams began fighting.

sledgehammer prop

I will admit that I have never heard that phrase before. Is that some kind of regional dialect?

Well, you know what they say. If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

The worst part of being President of our local youth football was dealing with the parents.

Once had a chubby 40 something mom complain about the spandex and low cut outfits one hot looking mom liked to wear. She wanted me to tell her it was not appropriate attire. I was not about to tell a woman how to dress. Instead I blurted out: ‘we should be thankful that she can still wear those outfits.’

It was not my finest moment.

Why assume race? We know white folk are perfectly capable of this level of stupidity.

“6-year-old athletes”

In whose universe is a 6-year-old considered to be an “athlete”?

I don’t consider middle-aged pro golfers to be “athletes”, let alone 6-year-olds who are probably almost as likely to score a “touchdown” for the other team as their own.

Just as these little kids are not “athletes”, the person that wrote the article is not a “journalist”.

If the “prop” means something like NFL cheesehead foam hats or we’re #1 fingers then this “prop” is pretty realistic.
