Is being raised by morons being tasered. Aside from those who taser themselves and friends to see how it feels, parents these days have many opportunities to experience the joys of being electricuted.

It was the Titans versus the Spartans as 7 and 8 year olds took to the field. As it turns out, the real action was on the sidelines.

Brothers Garrick and Darrick Shelton became angry with a referee’s call. The amateur video shows them as they begin cursing and shoving other parents. Then, an off-duty sheriff’s deputy — who also had a son playing in the game — took quick action with a Taser.

As Darrick Shelton lies on the ground, his brother Garrick continues to curse at the deputy and at a second man who was also an off-duty officer. Parents step in, reminding him children are present. He still doesn’t stop.

Eventually, both brothers are arrested and taken away in handcuffs.

Don’t you just love it when parents live vicariously through their kids. Why even shake hands anymore after games when the parents are going to take their kids home and trash talk the other team and officials? Damn. The kids still have about 10 years until they play a meaningful football game and the parents are already freakin nuts. That’s great news for the local high school football coaching staff, and a good 7-8 year heads up to look for work elsewhere.
