" Our online and listen to -- brother and Margery Eagan minus six."

" 17822. 969 from a Verizon also Georgia -- 602 KK dot com I am your brother words Marjorie and you ask my question exactly. Where is Marjorie and no one knows. Where."

" and that was the question exactly no one knows if you do send us an email don't pollster an amendment sixth on WTO. KK dot com and about 945 talked RD soul from my television station and easy and who along with Emily Rooney from child to WGBH. Greater Boston is gonna be told. -- I wanna add the following. Here's what happened according to Boston Globe is up in Wilmington. This guy Michael Von -- helped -- pronounce or it's 48. Has ace ace shattered eye socket broken nose and concussion. In a fight. With the coach out there whose name is William Reynolds -- and a the guy Von colleague got there late with -- kid -- twelve years old -- yet to practice ten minutes. Then the coach and I don't think is a rate is the scenes medium beyond dispute or the youngster to run laps for starting us. In exactly like beat them he said run laps the father. Ball -- love that word as it says the -- of sorts saying his son shouldn't be punished for the father's mistake. This is according to the police report read by Sargent Chris earned from the Wilmington police. As the exchange escalated Von Cali apparently yelled distrust -- father disparaging remarks to the coach. Is pretty good in during the super fund colleague apparently yelled -- remarks to the coach about his weight. -- for Edwards -- when you start since -- fat boy you get no trouble. The two men agreed to resolve the dispute out of your show the kids and that's when it gets all -- what happened next a matter of dispute. -- Apparently -- Kelly got the crap. Beaten out of him. You know who's at fault here. I don't know the cops don't know either they haven't pursued charges coordinator in the opera toward -- because the incident was not witness spinal surface swept into people's monitor personal finance lessons in front of a police officer. They both go to criminal court. And do with the they wanna do now another pop Warner coach -- tuna. Do you wanna be named as said that he that Reynolds the coach was defending himself from overzealous parent said the according to Reynolds apparent. Called him -- insulting naming a -- name in front of his players and this is the key line from. This is the -- in coach too many parents lived through their children -- real headache. A lot of parents have too much pressure the most extreme case we all know the story and more -- some say it moving on Thomas juncture is that huge 300 pound. Truck drug from from Redding who beat to death the it was Michael Paulson from one field if the kid's hockey practice that's an extreme. But isn't this really the problem again I'm not gonna adjudicate the thing between by -- I don't know -- was -- I just other stuff happens too much too many parents lived through their children. Particularly in sports. So the question for the -- one is that true the answers yes to is that a problem that needs fixing the answer is yes and if you say yes and yes. And how you fix. I mean I'm -- could do my usual banning kind of thing were parents should be banned from these places. But that may be the only Alter how sick is it that these guys got to -- fist fight. Because the father was upset that the coach asked the kid to run laps because he was like let's on the phone is right it was the father's fault. What exactly is the harm. Asking little boy Richard cared little -- to run a a couple of laps off your from Wilmington we -- wanna hear from a is this just the case of an overzealous parent and if you've seen those kind of stories I told the -- in the first -- Mattel again here -- the -- was no violence in this one of the worst things I've ever seen. And you gotta yeah -- sensibilities so -- think about the kid for a minute that psychological damage done I was at. -- park is huge beautiful park named it through former mayor in Cambridge in there million baseball fields from him -- is some Little League game and stop and watch and a kid gets up the -- look at him maybe nine or summer. Arming and inordinately tremendous little little boy. He gets up to the plate as the -- about to throw the first pitch. The father -- sure it's the -- from the Stan. Yells out Jimmy Johnny wooden rails famous. This is your chance to redeem yourself I mean. Does it get any worse than that mean. Does it doesn't get worse and so in this case his physical violence and near the kids up there in Wilmington -- war thing. And in my case is like psychological violence it is totally. Gross and here's what Deb Smith the -- president's was that the violence should not be apart of you sports at all. That's controversial in the -- treat that for violence should not be a part. Of youth sports at all let's go to Weymouth for Nadia is on the phone you're seeing this kind of thing and what's the solution Nadia."

" I can't thank you to make your cool about which."

" Thank you well know it differently to look at it person in this particular case I actually put this all responsibility on the parent. Good thing. If it did he eat only that it not get its its fall or attempt to delay well we're supposed to do Celtic it even get behind we'll. You can't really what he's done is really enabling that behavior. From. And not Germany responsibility what the courts trying to do is saying hey you gotta be responsibly to teach your kids to be responsible. I thought the Catholic school. And -- settle into force in Italy for five minutes is a bit on in the parents. If they didn't he indicated it."

" Exactly and by the way if the penalty was not running laps of the panel -- buzz he put the -- one of those medieval racks and start crunching the kid. A different story this is I'm with you this is totally fun."

" One recommendation I happened to coaches like -- time. Just to eliminate any nation how appear on twenty laps around the track."

" I love that I love that -- not I love that before you go away assuming this is true. Assuming it's true that Von -- referred -- disparaging remark about coaches wage is that grounds for punching out the parent."

" Now the heat that he shouldn't have done that."

" This I think I -- to know. Your -- should be functioning -- Nadia thank you wrote so much for the call their 67221969. Pound 969. From a Verizon Wireless let's get Andy's point from the -- love the -- planning."

" He got a comic I'm neglecting the apple absolutely what should happen is that -- strapped down and shoot and ran with his style they talk about. Punctuality."

" I mean most -- or pair it with I know this is an overly broad statement but I'll make it -- makes you feel good Andy is it not true that more often than not parents are part of the problem not part of the solution yes. Because what generally happens and as someone has been of the larger riding myself particularly -- big fat fathers. -- never quite know some of the -- problems through producers -- big fat fathers who never quite made it as far as they wanted to in sports are living by an -- again I'm not I don't know any effects in this case I'm sorry of the guys -- Isaac -- obviously I'm speaking generically it's the big -- father who didn't make it who's living through his didn't torturing his -- right. So run in the lap with the kid I love that now but but in fairness to the coach for second. If someone were I don't know what he called but he apparently made an unkind reference to lose weight -- like -- words --"

" And David Cook should adopt -- right."

" He believe -- the coach probably means that any thank you for the for the call you know parents who were on the other side of the equation are -- Nicole also if your contention is. That that. -- in these circumstances that it was totally inappropriate for the coach to. Require. That the U as we toll would run laps for his part this is in saint at a get. I'm not defending obviously. The coach punched and we don't know if the punch was a punch from several times -- thrown down or -- some we don't know if the judge embassy Curb Your Enthusiasm last night. One of the greatest moments is when Larry David who as you know speakers on -- it was like a -- and thirty. -- And Rosie though beat the crap that doesn't. Isn't much earlier than that 67221969. Pounded on -- 69 for Verizon was on everybody's seen these kind of situation. How do you deal of them. Jeff Smith the pop morally prism church is very nice person -- she says she's removed the coach pending investigation. Violence should not be part of you sports at all. Revealed that. -- deep in the deep. 617822196. -- we'll talk about. These kinds of incidents of you know about the incident and specific in -- but in general parent intrusiveness when it comes to the -- sport -- how to deal with -- How we prevent incidents like this have you seen him an additional we get back apartment body party's sole top banker and he CN who was tall and seeing a moderating or something. The final debate the critical debate in the mayoral contest in Boston tonight at 7 o'clock -- talked briefly about that right after this."
