Outlaws, Raiders Somehow Involved In Fracas

Kudos to Action News for its "red fist of communism punching All-American football" graphic to accompany this story. The "Parental Melee" referenced in said graphic? Ahh, none other than a parent arguing over playing time with his son's coach.

Uh, okay. That happens a lot. But what doesn't happen all the time is the father pulling a gun on the coach! Yes, the protective father pulled a gun on the coach during a game at Burlhome Park. 6 ABC reports:

The father and the coach started fist fighting and the father allegedly pulled out a 357 magnum loaded with 5 live rounds after the coach started getting the upper hand in the fight.

When the police arrived they witnessed one of the football referee punching the brother of the man with the gun. Police now have two men in custody.

The teams were the Burholme Outlaws and the Oxford Circle Raiders.

Wow, that referee really laid down the law. Of course, how could you not expect a fight with a bunch of Outlaws and Raiders on the gridiron? You're just asking for trouble!
