MOT organized youth football tourney canceled

The cowbells must go!!!
Then the Middletown dad’s would have no way to round up their wives after the game!!! It would be mayhem
Mrs. Anderson had it right. You get people from all walks of life when you invite that many teams from out of state. Coaches and parents alike.
Bottom line is these are KIDS. The parents should be ashamed for setting these kind of examples. And for what???? a meaningless GAME for a plastic trophy?! Just blows my mind, football should be a fun learning experience for these kids.
Kids? More like young adults. Parents should be held accountable but the so called kids are accountable as well. It’s a social problem. Are there bad parents? Yes but I have seen many very good nurturing caring parents have unruly bad kids. Ultimately it’s on the kid as to who they want to be. I know it’s PC to blame the parents for kids behavior but it’s not always the case. Kids or should I say teenagers who consider themselves as adults should be accountable for their own actions
Point being I have been pretty much on my own since 16. I have made mistakes some could call it just being a kid it happens. But the judge didn’t look at it that way. I had consequences for my actions. This stuff today where teenagers actions are just swept under the rug as just being a kid is a disservice to them and society
Kids are kids and make stupid mistakes but there still has to be consequences. And one of them may be getting chastised on here.

Yes KIDS. Ages 7-14 i would consider kids still, not even in high school. The one brawl happened during a 7U game... 7 years old, what in the world could have possibly happened in a 7U game to cause a brawl?! Its pathetic. Adults should have handled the situation better, not escalate it and fight with one another. And the fact that no consequences happened after all this is even crazier to me. All actions, negative and positive, have consequences in life.
the consequences fell on the kids planning to play the next tournament , as it was cancelled.
People trying to extend youth football beyond their league championship to some fake regional or national championship is rediculous and half the problem. Let the kids learn the game and have fun then when the season is over (let it be over) let the kids move on to basketball or wrestling
You took the words right out of my mouth...games this late DO NOT benefit the kids at all. I miss coaching and my son playing at this young age, but I DO NOT miss this part of it all
