Soccer dad Martin Smith stands accused of sucker punching a referee from his kid's soccer match. Jeffrey Rousseau, the ref who was attacked, suffered a dislocated jaw and says he never saw the attack coming.
History appears to show that Martin Smith seems to have trouble controlling his temper.
In August, Smith, 41, pleaded innocent to charges he tried to run down a woman with his car following an argument at a gas station, Police Sgt. John Delaney said. He is due back in court for a hearing on that charge next month.The victim, Rousseau, who is also an off-duty cop wasn't even the right referee.Witnesses told police that Smith shouted threats at the referees during Wednesday's soccer match between Central and Westfield High School. They said he was upset because a yellow card warning was issued to one of his sons, although Delaney said the other referee made the call.

Jerk of the Month.
There are so many ways in which men have given up their time to try and help children and, frankly, many of them have become thankless tasks. Refereeing is one of them.
I give double kudos to those who are willing to put up with jerks like this guy and laws that prevent single males from entering a children's park etc.
I wouldn't bother. Not worth the grief.
Why the metric system we have alread said we dont want it and there is no call for that i mean the father should be made to appoligise and spend time in jail theres nothing that spoils the idea of good sportsmanship then a parent who acts like a idiot
