Both sides in Monday’s incident agreed that Vigil brought her daughter, 12, who was injured and did not play, to watch the game at Sewaneka High School. They differed on what happened after the Nassau Queens’ 3-2 loss to the Floral Park Fireballs.

Vigil said she approached Schwarzman of East Rockaway after the game and asked why he stopped e-mailing her directions to visiting games. He responded with a torrent of curses, she said.

“He called me a (expletive) and criticized me for being a single mother,” she said. “I was so afraid. I was so scared that he was going to do something to me.”

Vigil said she just walked away with her daughter, who was on crutches.

In contrast, police and Schwarzman said Vigil, approached the coach and cursed him. “She came running across the field. She called me an American (expletive), an American (expletive),” Schwarzman said. He said he took her off the e-mail list because she e-mailed “nasty letters” about practices and other matters.

Schwarzman admitted he made a negative remark about the woman being a single mother with two daughters, ages 12 and 10. But he said he tried to avoid the confrontation by walking to his car.

Vigil followed, picked up a nearby folding chair, and in view of her daughter, “slammed me in the face with it three times,” Schwarzman said. “I never touched her.”

Vigil then keyed a van she thought was the coach’s before leaving, Schwarzman said. He said Vigil must have been upset over more than the directions, but he didn’t know what. He said her oldest daughter and his daughter attended the same school and both played on his team.

Interesting. She apparently has a problem with Americans...among other things.

I infer that the woman is a foreigner, and as such will get no sympathy from me. You don't come to my country and then insult it, or my fellow Americans. Off with her head, metaphorically.
