This recent tale from Florida checks a lot of boxes.
A parent punched a coach during an 8U football game in Winter Haven, sparking a brawl.
The field was conveniently located next to a police substation, though, so law enforcement had a quick trip to break things up.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is sorting out who will face criminal charges, as well as investigating allegations the incident was driven by parents wagering on the game.
Undercover cops will reportedly attend games in the future to probe the gambling claims.
Elsewhere in the Southeast: Three coaches have received lifetime bans from a youth football league in Arkansas after a brawl broke out during the post-game handshake line. Coaches, players and fans were involved in the melee, which was caught on film in Cabot, which is near Little Rock.
