Georgia youth football coach gets lifetime ban after striking player
A youth football coach in Georgia was banned from the league for life this week after footage went viral on social media showing him striking a player during a game.
According to Yahoo Sports, the incident occurred during an opening game Monday at the American Youth Football (AYF) national championships in Kissimmee, Fla.
In the video shared on Twitter, the coach of a 9-and-under team from Savannah, Ga., identified as Gerrel Williams, can be seen hitting one of his players in the head twice as the team walked to the sidelines at halftime causing him to be knocked off balance.
Moments later, Williams can be seen hitting the same player again hard enough to push him to the ground before grabbing him by the helmet and pushing him off the field.
