It’s unclear where the video came from or when it was taken but it immediately received backlash on the Internet. Both current and former NFL players called for the youth football coach to be fired for having the kids participate in such a violent drill with

This is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen in youth sports.
1-they look to be like 7-8 years old. There’s not need to be doing anything close to this
2-one if OBVIOUSLY outmatched and that’s on the coach
3-whoever put this drill together should face consequences

There are many people that should not be allowed to be associated with the game of football, at any level. People responsible for this are doing nothing good for the game, and especially nothing good for these children. F’ing joke.
