Youth Football Coach With Criminal Record Slapped a Referee in the Head [Video]

All, Crime, Football, Youth Sports Stephen Douglas October 16th. 2012, 10:21am

Florida: Referees called a youth football game because of an unsportsmanlike penalty so a “coach” attacked one of the referees. Dion Robinson, the well-qualified 43-year-old assistant coach, has quite the resume. From the Broward Palm Beach New Times:

Aside from going out of his way to open palm slap referees at youth football games, Robinson also has an extensive criminal record, which includes aggravated assault, and assault with a firearm. Oh and he has multiple arrests for cocaine distribution.

This guy sounds great. The parents who allow their children to be coached by guy with that past sound great. Everybody sounds great. The Broward Sheriff’s Office is currently searching for Robinson.

No guarantee that the parents know this. I’d like to give some of them the benefit of the doubt. But that fuck head coach needs to be run from the league and jailed.

If we’re going to keep all the ex-cons away from kids….
And this is hardly anything new. Parents and coaches acting like major league dicks at the refs because the ref is denying little Timmy his chance to impress that college scout and giving the parents/coaches the chance to live through the kid? Happens all the time

literally every single one of those qualities makes for a good football player. if anything, im thinking he’s overqualified. he should probably be a position coach for an arena league team or a creepy handler for some hot shot HS recruit, not a youth football coach. he’s clearly ready for a promotion.

Agree. Assistant coach at this level could just be some dad/uncle that just hangs around the team.

I coach a high school baseball team in the summer. Haven’t had a parent issue yet, but whoa have I had some opposing coach issues. Dude wanted to fight me on the pitchers mound because I overheard his argument to the umpire about why his baserunner that plowed my fielder who was about to catch a popup in the baseline should be safe and I told another umpire “there’s no way that’s correct, right?” All it took and that guy came unglued. People are dumb.

that referee is overweight.
When I saw this last night on another popular sports blog, and had a conversation about it on the twitters, I mentioned that most of the people in this video needed to pull their pants up.
I thought the bad guy was going for a gun at one point, but he was actually just grabbing the waist of his cargo shorts to keep them up, as he had been doing for his whole “sack race style” sprint to punch that fat ref.

number 59 has prototypical size and a frame that should be able to carry the extra weight but he’s facing the wrong way which leads some to think he doesn’t have ideal instincts for the position.

There was a subtle but earlier clue:
Florida: Referees called a youth football game because of an unsportsmanlike penalty so a “coach” attacked one of the referees.

I remember doing a scouting report of Jesus and someone jumping in and mentioning that Jesus would have ball control issues due to holes in his hands. One of my favourite comments ever.

It’s too bad he went off on that ref.

jesus is one of the most clutch performers in football. was responsible for one of the greatest comebacks in history. off the charts character and leadership skills but has a tendency to ruffle the feathers of those in charge. rumors of him washing strangers feet gives general managers pause as teams would like to avoid a potential washingfeetgate scandal.
