Obviously women shouldn't be soccer coaches.

Investigators say Burke does have a concealed handgun permit

Investigators tell NewsChannel 11 that Burke got into a fight with the female coach of his child's soccer team. The soccer association tells us the children playing at the time were between seven and eight years old. Apparently, the coach's husband tried to stop Burke from yelling at his wife, and that's when the two men got into an argument in the stands. The police report states that the victim pushed Burke, and then Burke pulled a handgun and pointed it at the victim's head. Police say an off-duty prison guard tackled Burke, and got the gun away from him.

The off duty prison guard is also an SEC referee on Saturdays.

Kids play soccer in Texas?!

So in Texas is that only a yellow card?

Wish Sarah Palin was the coach. "You call that a gun.....Now that's a gun"

I lived in Texas for 10 years growing up in the Houston area and I've seen some crazy things there. When I was 10, I scored the game winning goal with about 5 minutes left against a team from Katy, TX that supposedly hadn't lost in like 2 year. While running back to midfield, the coaches wife ran on the field after me. Thank goodness I was fast because she chased after me with her purse until some of the parents and her husband came after her. She was kicked out of the soccer complext and her husband told her to take the car and get out of there before someone called police.

My dad also had a whole team of parents follow him to his car after reffing a game and had an off duty police officer not been in the parking lot, it could have been ugly.

And lastly, there was rumor that a guy pulled out a revolver and shot the ball out of the air after it had been punted because his kid's team was losing by a lot.

Good times.
