My dad played in the NHL (only four games but still) and my brother and I were never allowed to be boisterous on the rink. We could celebrate, we could high-five or whatever, but we did NOT try to pull this nonsense.
Not my dad! He would have been waiting at home plate with a Tallboy of Natural Light, ready to take me to the strip club in his 2005 Ford F150 4x4 with a 3” lift kit.
Actually, he never made it. He was arrested on the way for the incident involving those two hookers in wheel chairs and the mobile home that had an interior steep grade.
In the baseball leagues I played in the runs would come off the board and batter ruled out. Kids are there to learn sportsmanship and learn fundamentals not to showboat. This would've been automatic ejection, all runners return to original positions, and it's counted as a strikeout. One strike for standing there and watching it, one for the bat throw, and a third for throwing the helmet.
I wasn't an exceptional athlete by any means but I had a few good days. Just was taught to have some class (not that I don't have my trashy moments). It sucks for these kids because there's plenty of coaches like this that encourage it actively. Hopefully they get better coaching down the line, if I'd done this on the field when I was a kid I'd STILL be running laps for punishment and I'm over 35.
Yeah bro, for me it’s sort of anything goes after a KO. It’s hard to describe it emotionally if you’ve never fought, but the combination of head trauma/sheer outburst of emotions after getting a knockout on your opponent is difficult to describe; it also means most boxing/mma fans are able to look the other way if someone says/does something crazy post fight

Yea, it won't be very long until this leads to an altercation. The parents and coaches are letting that kid down.
