A Wisconsin parent is cited after police say he tripped a 9-year-old player during a U-10 youth football game in Mount Pleasant, south of Milwaukee. Authorities say the child was running for a touchdown when he was tripped, and the player was not injured.
Police report the parent entered the field and acted during the live play after becoming upset over something that happened during the game. NBC News characterizes the incident as a father running onto the field and tripping the child, while Fox News describes the parent “storming” onto the field during the play. The Oregonian similarly reports that the parent is cited and that the child was unharmed, with the incident described as a trip by the adult during a scoring run.
