I can’t believe none of the other parents stepped up and checked dude immediately.

and he was a counselor for a sheriff’s dept. Makes sense

sure there are some great guys out there coaching these kids. Helping raise young men and all that.

But for everyone of those, you get an Uncle Rico living-out-my-dreams-on-the-gridiron types too

Imagine what he would've done in private.

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

dude would be getting WORK. How did not one parent rush out there? Some of these dudes really think they Bear Bryant or some shit, out here. Breh...nobody care about your coaching legacy. You supposed to be teaching and helping young men, first and foremost. Your win loss record is not gonna be in your obituary.

My cousin was a starting NFL lineman for multiple seasons.

He looks like what you'd imagine an NFL lineman post-retirement looks like.

Some drop the weight. SOME DON'T.

i'd have been on that field so quick... how the hell did not a single grown up step in? I'm not even saying fight that man, but you 100% have to snatch your kid off that field and call the authorities.

Dude is gonna wind up coaching somewhere else for sure. Friday Night Tykes got people fucked up.

her mind is probably in the same space as the coach's.

i mean, i don't know what mom's motivation was, but dealing with the law in small florida towns is something i'd probably think twice about doing. She could also see it as healthy discipline, which is a terrible lesson to teach a kid.

It's also weird that it's the mom's decision to press charges or not. They got a grown man abusing a kid on camera - it shouldn't really matter if mom says it's cool or not. It's all so dumb.

like it'll make him tougher or some other trying to man up her son. but she needs to get counseling herself so she can understand this all better.

wonder where the father is.

but yeah, charges should happen even without her.

dude slaps the kid...walks around, curses and does some tough guy posturing. In that time, he could have thought to himself...damn, I took that too far. Nope. He had time to think and still arrived at...lemme go slap the shit out of this 9 year old child, again. Fuck him.

he wouldn't be viral for beating up kids. this will probably affect his job status too.

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

He's been fired from his job. He was a counselor in a detention center with the Sherriff's office. He is now facing charges.

The fact that he thinks his mistake was doing it in public and not in private speaks volumes.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – A now-fired youth football coach and Chatham County Sheriff’s Office employee caught on video striking a player will face child abuse charges, according to a Florida official.

The coach, identified as Gerrel Williams, was seen screaming, slapping a player’s helmet several times, at one point knocking the child to the ground. The video was posted on social media and has since gained viral attention.

The incident happened Dec. 7 in Kissimmee, Florida, where the Savannah Gators were reportedly competing in the American Youth Football (AYF) National Championship.

The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office in Florida was contacted the following day to review a video showing possible child abuse. According to an incident report, a deputy reviewed the video and made contact with the player’s mother who “specifically stated she did not want to press charges.”

The sheriff’s office instead sent an information report to the Department of Children and Families.

However, on Friday, Osceola County Maj. Jacob Ruiz confirmed to News 3 the decision has been made by the sheriff’s office and local state attorney’s office to file charges for child abuse, regardless of the parent’s decision.

“I’m not going to make excuses for what I did. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have disciplined him in public, I should’ve waited until we got back,” Williams said in a video shared by a friend on social media.

“At the end of the day, I apologize to him, the kids, the city down here and my family back at home,” he continued.

Williams said the player and his parents have forgiven him.

Still, many in Savannah and across the nation expressed outrage over the incident. Athletes, including Lakers star LeBron James, took to social media to condemn the coach’s actions.

“Couldn’t be my kid,” James wrote in an Instagram story, adding, “If I (was) there and it’s not even my kid we gone have more than words for sure.”

Savannah State University alumnus and NFL player Shannon Sharpe tweeted: “If that’s my child, I’ve got to have him.”

Meanwhile, a statement from AYF says Williams — who coached 9-year-old players — is banned for life from the organization and any of its events. He is also prohibited from entering the venue.

AYF says all of its coaches go through a complete background check, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concussion training, and coaching training. Coaches are also required to sign an annual code of conduct, which AYF says Williams violated.

The Chatham County Sheriff’s Office issued a statement to News 3 saying they “are very disturbed” by Williams’ actions and do not condone his behavior.

As of Thursday, Williams is no longer an employee of the sheriff’s office. Officials say he was a counselor in the detention center.

rec league. hs varsity. aau. all. that. shit.

peace & blessings,
