Horse play or assault?

BEAUMONT (CBSLA) — The Beaumont High School football team took the field without their head coach Will Martin Friday night, and many are upset he’s been sidelined.

“He’s a great coach, a great human being, I see nothing but positives,” parent Jeff Furtado said.

“I know this man personally and he’s a man of god,” parent Mando Cuellar said.

But another parent was concerned about Martin’s behavior and turned a video over to police last week that allegedly shows Martin punching a student in the stomach. Police are now investigating. Some parents who have seen the video say it’s not as bad as it sounds.

“He barely touched the kid, they were horse playing,” Furtado said.

“I’ve seen the video and you can totally see him smiling there. The kids are there, my son’s there, they all laughed afterwards, it’s something they obviously do,” Cuellar said.

But the school district put Martin on administrative leave. They released a statement saying their number one priority is the safety and well-being of students and that they take reports of teacher misconduct very seriously.

Two Beaumont teachers have been arrested this year for allegedly having sexual relationships with students.

Some think that’s why this incident is being blown out of proportion and hope Martin is cleared soon and back on the field with his players.

“They’re very upset. This guy is a leader in the classroom, on the field, everything,” Furtado said.

Sounds like a similar instance to what Coach Rush Propst went through with the head butt incident. People try to take everything to the umpteenth degree anymore and it's mostly silliness. 

 

I wouldn't have even given that incident the time of day... 

Rush headbutted a kid in a Football helmet while wearing a sun visor.... 

The kid is fine... I'd be concerned with Rush...

Yeah, well my point is that men act certain ways with other men. Horseplay etc. is all kind of a rite of passage. 

I wasn't able to find the video of the actual punch, but, I assume it to be some similar action taken far too seriously as if there was some bad intent from the coach to the player.

Its a news story bro. It never shows the punch or any video of any coach doing anything. Just a few fans talking and a reporter and some clips of a play on the field.

Dang maybe I posted the wrong link. My bad. The video shows the coach punching the kid in the gut. It's done as punishment I guess. I will find the video and link it.

Yeah, the coach really made a bad decision here. Looks pretty bad on video like that. 

I do wonder why the other kids are laughing and stuff if it's a punishment though. 

 

Idk what happened to the good ol' days of doing up/downs as a punishment.(Saw a kid doing some of them on the sidelines last Friday night after jumping off sides actually) We've now advanced to a quick punch in the gut or what?

Obv doesnt seem like a big deal to the players or anything if they are all joking and laughing about it. #Worldistoosensitive

Yeah, those particular players anyway.

Other players claimed the coach does this as a punishment. 

Like some people do time outs, you may spank yours... this guy punches his in the gut.

Well, everything is about they said... except for the video. It looks just like the guy punched that kid in the gut. Then add in kids saying he uses it as punishment. 

One coach exits stage left. He'll be lucky to not be charged with battery.

Gotta feel bad for coaches and such today. Cant do anything without some kid taking out their cell phone and recording everything. Its surprising people wanna be coaches anymore or any level of authority. The first question should be what did the kid do for the coach to react the way he did
