Football coach... Stick to football. I would pull my son off the field myself if he showed the same disrespect for a teamate or official. Soccer is supposed to be different, and I have no problem with enforcing the rules. Don't for a minute think that Alex did not know what he was spewing was against the laws of the game. He made a conscious choice and will have to live with the sanctions. Teach your players to play fair and show respect for players, coaches, and officials. In short teach them to be gentlemen and ladies, not thugs.
