Knowing soccer players, it’s the way it is sometimes. You get clipped or slide tackled too much in a game and you snap. However, when most men and women snap they get into a pushing battle that ends up in a yellow card to cool emotions down.
This ended in a bar brawl and it is sad as anything to see hair pulling and pounding on the soccer field. I’m guessing that the game was the girl’s last or something went wrong. One thing’s for sure, she’s not gonna play any more!
I have been involved with sports since I won the blue ribbon as the fastest first grader in Panama City, FL.
I have been in organized sports from around age 10 until I graduated from college on an athletic scholarship. I continued to be active in sports as a player/coach on church softball teams and as recreation director of a large Summer retreat until my mid 50s.
I know sports fairly well. I have seen a few incidents, nearly all stop fairly quickly with on person apologizing to the other.
I am fortunate that I never had to witness anything like this girl’s attack. I do know if I had been there I would have been running as fast as I could to jerk that one girl off the other. I would not have been particularly gentle either but would not have struck her.
