I know Fred — he’s a decent fellow. This is what happens when you get some dumb lady who’s never played a sport in her life on the board of a little league who sees an innocuous act — doesn’t understand it — feels the need to make herself important — yaps her mouth — and makes a big deal out of nothing. Truth, Fred should have let it go, but give me a break. Have any of ya’ll ever coached or played a sport? That is nothing!

While his legal actions off the field are definately bullyish, the actual event that triggered his ejection sounds pretty harmless.

He bonked his son on the head with an empty water bottle, because the kid was misbehaving. Unless he swung pretty hard that sounds fair. It seems both parties are over reacting.

Construction lawyer?

This doesn’t sound very constructive.

Well, Holland ‘n’ Knight is sure going to burinish its repuation by taking up this worthy cause.

Let’s hope this one takes on a life like the pants suit. I bet H&K will quickly discover that it has a conflict in this representation.

The Streisand Effect also works offline. Sending this letter to all parents will cause them to think worse of him than anything else he has done to date.
