Charlie Rogers, ex-NFL RB, threatens 11-year-old youth-league player
The 44-second rant, which you can hear by clicking on the video at the top of Demaryius Thomas Authentic Jersey
the story,  is nothing short of stunning, the words delivered by Charlie Rogers, a coach for the Matawan American Youth Football organization who also serves as the offensive coordinator at St. John Vianney High School in Holmdel, New Jersey.The fact that he's still coaching anywhere right now, 12 days after the caustic tirade, is Nike Peyton Manning Jersey On Sale
as damning as the audio itself.Just put yourself in the place of Chris Schuster, the parent of the young athlete who was the target of Rogers' voicemail, in which he threatens to "blitz every (expletive) play until your guy comes out of the game."Schuster stepped down from his post as Matawan AYF's acting president shortly after the incident when the organization failed to take Derek Wolfe Authentic Jersey
action against Rogers, who played five seasons in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks, Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills. The Jersey Shore AYF got involved, and will hold a hearing on Nike Demaryius Thomas Jersey On Sale
the matter Thursday, with Matawan AYF finally offering a one-game suspension for Rogers.One stinking game!How is Rogers still coaching kids at any level?"They're always talking about holding the kids accountable," Schuster said. "But what about the coaches?"What about the coaches indeed. It's time to hold Rogers accountable for his words, before they turn into actions, with the two teams set to play on Oct. 7.<strong style="margin-right:3px;">MORE: A new wave of young quarterbacks could reshape the NFL's landscape<strong style="margin-right:3px;">MORE: USA TODAY Sports' 2018 NFL predictions for Super Bowl LIII, MVP and more<strong style="margin-right:3px;">MORE: TheHuddle.com: Creating fantasy football winnersIt's tough to know where to begin on this one. For starters, why in the world would a grown man care that much about any of this to leave a message like that? It's the kind of behavior that stands as a testament to how overzealous adults continue to take the enthusiasm out of youth sports for so many kids, who are just looking to have fun playing alongside their friends."What I do want to make sure is that kids on the team and the kids on the other team are safe, and that there's no bounty-hunting," Schuster said."The main reason why I wanted my kid out of there is because of the way he is talking on the phone, that is day-to-day talk. The kids in Matawan deserve better than somebody treating them like that."St. John Vianney head coach Joe Martucci is on Matawan AYF's board of directors and was the longtime head coach at Matawan, where Rogers played for and coached under him. He indicated C.J. Anderson Authentic Jersey
that the whole thing "got blown way out of proportion."I'm not sure many parents would share that assessment. This kind of behavior crosses every line imaginable, and Schuster has every right to be mad as hell.Someone else's child could be next.Stephen Edelson is an Asbury Park Press columnist.
