Just wondering..

Just had the best game of backyard football ever. Whoo man 6 on 6 wiht a steady Q, good stuff, hard hitting action man. I got 6 out of 11 touchs, couple of hard hits, two picks and a forced fumble.

But i didnt come here to just brag, i was just wondering what yall would do in this situation.

So the other team has a guy ill call Joe. Now joe is purty fast,but he is 5'4, and he cant break a tackle that well, and all he wants to do is run, like 9 times a series. So, hes getting hit hard of course. Now my friend ill call Steve, he is a linebacker. So he engages the tacle from behind Joe and naturally lifts him backwards to stop his forward motion.

Now this is where it gets interesting...because Joe is so short and steve (5'11ish) is much taller, its more like a suplex tne a tackle. Next thing i know Joe gets up and punchs Steve in the face.

I was just wondering what yall would do in this situation, keep in mind we are all friends for the most part, plus Joe is 20 and Steve is 15.

Peace

A few punches once in a while isn't really that bad of a thing in my book. As long as they don't act all pissy about it for more than a few days. Having 15 year olds on the field with 20 year olds is quite a different level af maturity. The punch probably didn't hurt much more than the tackle. Just gotta realize that that thing kind of thing is going to hapen when you get a bunc of guys playing a rough sport. If someone can't handle those kind of antics, don't invite them.

The hardest thing to get guys to understand?

IT'S ONLY A GAME

In this case, Joe is feeling inadequate, because he is being taken out by a boy. Sounds like the maturity levels are reversed here. Bascially, someone needs to tell Joe that if he can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. (I won't even get into the fact that he has committed assault, or is that battery, on a minor.)

In my small opinion, it's TACKLE football, if anyone doesn't want the risk of getting hurt, they really shouldn't be playing. But I agree with everyone else here, I'm 20 and I can't believe someone my age would even think of hitting someone who 15. I don't like punching anyone at all, but I had to rad the story over a few times because I thought the 15 year old hit the older guy. Crazy! I couldn't believe it was the other way around!
