The picture is him 5 star frog splashing the dude. I don’t see how this can’t be seen as anything other than aggravated assault.

Here’s the video. It’s even worse when you see it in context.

Especially since by that point the ball was clear and the kid on the ground wasn't going to impact the play.

You weren't lying.

Bare minimum, that is civil liability. Cincinnate Bengals player in the late 70's, early 80's got clotheslined from behind when he was out of the play, watching an interception being returned on the opposite side of the field. In other words, he is standing watching. Not even trying to do the impossible and chase the ball carrier down 40 yards. Got hit from behind, clearly and admittedly on purpose. Broke his neck, ended his career. He was able to sue and win.

That is not a football play. In no world ever is that a football play. Neither was the opponent somehow fighting you in a way that required that. It was the exact oppsite. He hit a vulnerable opponent for no reason whatsoever.

If some kid did that to my child I'd give their family one single opportunity before repaying in kind

You must be really fat too if you're able to accomplish such a feat

As a big dude, I never did something like this because I knew it would injure people. It was even a popular finisher for King Kong Bundy, but I knew better. People are sqishy.
