That's complete BS. What is the coach supposed to do? It sounds like a butt hurt parent and I don't know how they could even make this a case of "bullying"

Proof America has gone soft, when i saw this on the news last night it legitimately made me mad. This is what happens when you have to give a trophy to every single kid. People need to learn that failing at something builds character, learn from the situation and put in the work

That complaint is insane in its logical contradictions. The Aldeo players showed respect and were class acts... so the simple act of executing plays alone is "bullying?"

Makes no sense. I almost wonder if this was a prank sent from an Aledo fan/parent. There is no way someone is this much of a wuss, right?

Are they supposed to take a knee the entire second half? F that. Nut up and take the loss. It's obvious your team really really sucks.

I knew you were all smart people...I'm waiting for that one poster that thinks this is bullying...

Sheesh. It's football. That parent should give up rights to that kid as he's got a horrible role model to grow up with.

let's not lump in "America" considering that this was only one parent. i haven't seen a single comment anywhere supporting the complaint. i'm sure supporters exist, but it seems like a vast majority of people think the parent is a tool...and they're right. if anything, it's abuse of the bully reporting process in that district and the complainant should be reprimanded.

I will lump in America, this is just a part of the problem my friend. We live in a country were we can no longer have winners and losers. I just want America to get back to the point in which being successful means you earned it and failing is just a part of life. You cant sit here and tell me you truly believe America as a country is not soft

Losing/not accomplishing your goal isn't failure.....

“I have not failed 10,000 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work.”

Too bad more people don't think this way.

It was only the parents of one child. Even the coach of the losing team said it wasn't bad sportsmanship.

The winning team pulled all their starters in the first half. They only threw the ball a handful of times. What more could they do? You can't just give the other team the ball and sit down.

$20 says that parent never played sports so it's not "fair" to them. Hell, they probably think the game should end in a tie.

Apparently, beginning in the 3rd quarter the clock ran continuously. Get over it.

The problem is we can lump all of America in this because it has come to be that in America this case is a total possibility. I'm so glad many people are outraged that a parent would do this, but the problem lies in the fact that the parent CAN file this bullying case. Just a waste of school resources and time.

I had a player's mother report that her son was being bullied because other players were telling him what to do. I'm not kidding.

Exactly, this case is a snowball effect of many other cases

See that's pathetic, i think it has a lot do with how you were raised. If i told my mom that when i was growing up she would have said suck it up. My mom just happens to be strong catholic woman who doesn't take a lot of BS lol

Tell the complaining Cougars parents that if they drop the bullying charge, we'll give her son a Participation Trophy.

I'm doubling down on my prediction that this "complaint" was a prank by an Aledo fan/parent. This can't be real, right?

This is CLEARLY bullying and you guys are freaking insane… seriously, these two grown adults taking out their frustration and anger by going after a team of kids like this?? Just because the kids did something well?... How is this NOT bullying?

What do you guys think? I don't see "bullying"...Bad form? Maybe. But if you can't stop their 2nd and 3rd team, you don't deserve to be on the field.





Texas High School Football Team Accused of 'Bullying' for Winning

Of the clips of these kids I saw...they were far from "game". If you won't execute with some conviction...you will get housed by the other team's cheerleaders...bad team in every sense of the word...

People who know football know there is a moment where kids put down their little boy fears and play for their teammates...ie the fear of failing their boys supplants selfish fears. This team is like watching 10 year olds who haven't had the moment yet.

Based on how this mom acts...JR may as well hand in his gear...he has no chance...NONE!
