Quote:
AURORA, Ill. -- A father bounded into a youth wrestling match, picked up his son's winning opponent and launched him out of the ring, an episode caught on a home video.
After tossing the 11-year-old boy into the air Sunday, the angry father headed toward the cameraman, the father of the airborne boy.
"I was just wrestling, then the guy throws me," the boy, Nick Nasenbeny of suburban Aurora, told WMAQ-TV in Chicago. It was not known if the boy was injured.
Ray Hoffman, the father in the video and a part-time wrestling coach, told the television station he regrets his behavior and feels embarrassed. He said his son's shoulder was injured. Hoffman also said he will no longer be allowed to coach.
Dean Bogess, a wrestling coach who attended the meet, said Nick was using a legal move to pin his opponent and that the referee was about to stop the match when Hoffman intervened.
"The match was being stopped. He had blown his whistle already," Bogess said.
Nick's father, Dan Nasenbeny, said he was stunned by Hoffman's actions.
"I mean, there is a lot of different ways to stop a match. Not to pick up my son and launch him 5 feet, 10 feet in the air," Nasenbeny said.
I'm not trying to be gangsta or anything,.. but WTF Dad!! Somebody does that to your kid, and all you do is FILM IT!!! You should be embarrassed as well.

That father has no honor. A man disrespects your son in such a manner and you do nothing about it. Even if you dont know how to fight or are pretty sure your butts gonna get kicked you still go and let that man know that wont happen again without a fight. _________________ If there is less than a minute to play give the ball to Kobe and let him decide.

It looked like the kid on the ground was crying and in pain. The dad went overboard throwing the kid back. But you just never know what kind of reaction your going to have when your kid is in trouble. Natural reaction?

why does the news report say the the father "picked up his son's winning opponent and launched him out of the ring"? he was clearly just pushed off, from what I can tell, that IS NOT picked up and thrown... either way, it was wrong. _________________ Monta Ellis: "Kobe is #1, I'm #2, LeBron is #3."

I agree, when I first read the story, I had visions of Thunderlips and Rocky...
