No place in football for this...

Honestly, if they were 18+, there could be criminal charges. Not unprecedented. Kid should be kicked off the team and coaches suspended.
Brutal. That kid and others should be suspended for the rest of the season.
Seriously?! The only punishment was sitting out for the first half of the next game? At the very least, that kid should have been kicked off of the team indefinitely. Their priorities are screwed up in that district.
Honestly 76 should be banned from HS Football. No place for that. Where are his parents? Same thing with the others who picked on that player. They used football like a gang. How in the heck did they allow that kid to be still on the team is beyond comprehension. The coach should be fired if he didn’t kick that kid off the team.
Ridiculous!
The fact that the kid was able to play the following week tells me the coach has to go.
I could barely watch the whole video and news report and I will not be watching that again.
I cannot believe the coach didn’t yank that kid out of the game and kick him off the team right then and there along with the other boys involved. The AD and School should immediately fire the Coach of that team for allowing those two kids to play the next week.
That mom and kid may have a real legal case against that school. If that stuff gets in front of a jury? Game over - the schools insurance company will be paying out some big bucks.

Absolutely sickening. The offender should not be allowed to play the rest of the season and the coach needs to be fired. No room in sports for that type of behavior
I would call the police and press charges. That absolutely has nothing to do with football and is a criminal act.
I'm wondering if that kid decided to do that on his own or was told/encouraged to do so. Some of you may remember the video of the high school player (or was it players) blind-siding a referee some years back. Wasn't it determined that he was (they were) instructed by some coach to do that?
I also notice that there was who I assume was a coach of the white team looking right at the incident, and he didn't appear to make one move to stop it, but continued to look at it from the sideline. If, as the report said, the offending player banged the kid's head repeatedly on the turf, could that not be considered assault?

That kind of crap has no place in football and that victims parents should file criminal charges on the offenders and the coach and school for not stopping it. This is unbelievable.
Agree
It’s criminal. The coach should be fired for letting that kid stay on the team.
