Talib brothers’ bullying was problem at some youth football games before killing of coach Michael Hickmon
in October 2020, one person was killed and another wounded at a youth football game in Jacksonville, Fla.
“In the youth football world if somebody is crying about a call you might say stop whining or quit crying. They don’t laugh those things off. It gets personal with them.” “They would kind of give that motherly respect to her, so we didn’t have those same kind of issues with them on that kind of level.”
“She sent my son and a bunch of more kids home before the game,” Thomas said. “Luckily, she had the mindset to do that.”His son’s team, the Dragons, led 13-7 late in the fourth quarter, according to people who were at scrimmage. The Bobcats had apparently stopped the Dragons on 4th-and-1, giving them one last chance to score.
“I’m disappointed but I’m not surprised because I know how Q is,” said Keith Hodge, who met the Talib brothers about eight years ago when his son played youth football.
