Father Trips 9-Year-Old Player in Youth Football Game
PUBLISHED Sep 1, 2026, 10:41 AM ET
Terrence Ryan Bradshaw, a 41-year-old father, was cited for disorderly conduct after running onto the field and intentionally tripping a nine-year-old opposing player during an August 22, 2026, youth football game at Case High School in Racine, Wisconsin. The incident occurred during a matchup between the Racine Youth Eagles and the Milwaukee Colts, where Bradshaw's son plays. Video footage captured Bradshaw sprinting from the sidelines to obstruct the young Eagles player as he ran down the sideline toward the end zone. The impact caused the child to strike the turf hard, though he avoided serious injury and officials allowed the touchdown to stand. Game officials terminated the contest early to prevent further confrontation. Mount Pleasant Police Department investigated the matter, leading to a $313 citation. Bradshaw later explained to law enforcement that he acted impulsively out of fear for his son's physical safety due to opponent size differences.
