Should the goalkeeper, who is a minor, sue the parent who was protecting/rescuing his son?

Fight cuts short Alcoy vs. Ateneo match in Aboitiz Cup

TRASH TALK in a football match led to a free-for-all yesterday in the 18-Under division of the Aboitiz Football Cup.

The incident resulted in the abandoning of the match between Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu and Alcoy, with Ateneo leading, 3-1.

“It started with the trash-talking then it escalated,” said one parent who saw the incident and asked for anonymity.

The parent said one player from Alcoy threw a punch, while another supporter got into the field, triggering the free-for-all. While this was happening, there was also another incident involving the goalkeeper and an Ateneo player, who got rescued by his father.

Another outsider stepped in to help calm the tension but the goalkeeper already got struck in the head, opening a gash.

One Alcoy player got ganged up on because he ran to the Ateneo bench, while another ran all the way to the other field, where another game was being played.

The source added that on the way out, the parents themselves got in the act.

Aboitiz Football Cup fight, brawl
“The parents from Sacred Heart who weren’t there received calls, and the parents from Oslob also called up people they know, like former board members or former councilors for help,” he said. “The police were there, the head of security of Aboitiz was there because one of the Aboitizes was watching the CIS game.”

He also said Atty. Julius Entise, a member of the Disciplinary Committee of the Cebu Football Association also arrived and talked to the match officials.

“Gubot kaayo tungod lang sa trash talk,” he said.

Sources said the parent has a key or pocket knife in his hand and struck the Alcoy player's head which lead to bleeding. Child abuse charges coming right up! And oh! This is an U-18 game. If the player is 16 or 17 then he is dead meat.

Can anyone verify if the guy in the pic had something in the palm of his hand?That black spot right below his pinky finger seems to suggest he was holding on to something, in a stabbing fashion.

imho dapat lang na kasuhan yung parent. If they are considered young adults, then they should fight their own battles, and get beat up by fellow teenagers. If you consider fights as a right of passage, a matter of "honor", then let your kids fight amongst themselves, wag naman yung buong angkan kadamay. And no weapons involved -- away away lang, wala namang patayan sana.

What might have been a fight between two teenagers became a brawl when the parents got involved. If not for child abuse, then he should get sued for

- assault with a deadly weapon(assuming he had one)
- inciting a brawl

And, what's more, aren't parents supposed to set a good example?

There's just something about sports events that get people riled up.

part ng sport ung magka initan at mauwi sa umbagan.

pwede umawat ang parent, pwede din akapin ang anak nya para sha ang tumangap ng suntok, pero kung ung parent ang uumbag, mali na yan.

From these photos, it appears the parent seem to be using his car keys... Pati yung umaawat binugbog rin...

Pictures from the Sun Star Cebu have circulated and many netizens are outraged by this display of violence from adults, towards kids, because of a sporting event.

You can see an adult here seemingly hitting the kids with a closed fist, and with what seems to be a key in his fists.

Reports state that there will be child abuse charges filed. The images of that adult punching the goalkeeper supposedly resulted in that teenager having a bloodied head, as seen on the last photo below.

Let's try the pictures again...

THREE members of the Alcoy Football Club who played in the Under-18 football match of the 16th Aboitiz Football Cup, which ended in violence last Sunday, will file child abuse charges against the parents who allegedly attacked them.

The Cebu Football Association (CFA) is investigating the brawl that occurred during a game between Alcoy FC and Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC). CFA vice president Rico Navarro said they are conducting a series of meetings to determine who will be sanctioned.

During the incident three players of the Alcoy FC was hurt. The team’s goalkeeper Rodenel Binolirao Jr. had a gash in the head after being struck by one of the spectators. Two other Alcoy FC players were allegedly kicked by parents during the commotion.

Capitol dragged

Binolirao and a SHS-AdC were wrestling on the field when a man came in and mauled the Alcoy FC goalie. Another spectator broke up the fight.

SHS-AdC has yet to release a formal statement on the incident.

“We have the support of the Province (Provincial Government). We will be sending a formal letter to the CFA and Ateneo. The three kids will be brought to the city…and will file a case of child abuse against the parents who were responsible for the attack,” Glenda Antig, Alcoy FC coach, told Sun.Star Cebu.

Antig said a fight among players during a football match is natural.

A parent joined in on the action and our goalie got bloodied,” she said. “Based on our interview, two others were also kicked by parents. We are used to seeing player against player and it is okay for us but not this.”

Alcoy Mayor Nick de los Santos expressed dismay at the feedback he received from those who watched the game.

He said a town councilor’s son overheard someone making a derogatory comment about Alcoy players being poor and coming from rural areas.

De los Santos said the incident last Sunday showed that the players from Alcoy knew more of the game than the SHS-AdC parents who were allegedly involved in the brawl.

Still playing

“Sila ang nigawas nga walay alam sa dula. Sila’y taga bukid. Sila’y walay disiplina (They are the ones who don’t know anything about the game. They are the ones who are from mountains and have no discipline),” de los Santos said.

He said the parents of the other Alcoy FC players will help the three who will file charges against some SHS-AdC parents.

Despite the incident, Alcoy FC said they will not pull out of the tournament.

“We teach our students not get discouraged,” Antig said.
