Parents, Coaches Brawl On Football Field Following Youth Game

JURUPA VALLEY (CBSLA) — It’s not unusual for violence to break out between teams during a football game.

In the heat of battle, punches land and water bottles are thrown. There’s often pushing and shoving.

It all happened at a youth football game recently in Jurupa Valley. But as CBS2’s Tina Patel reports — this time the fight was between parents and coaches.

It’s a story that is Only On 2.

The high school already told the youth league they don’t want any more games on their property due to the damage to the field and equipment. Moreover, at least one student was hospitalized and a parent suffered a broken eye socket.

“It was just awful. people were socking each other, choking each other,” said Marleen Smith.
