But IMO it is contextually relevant.
Did they apologize to the coach that was assaulted? Probably. They seem like decent people who just made a mistake.
I've never defended this kid's actions. Quite the opposite. If you're disturbed, well, then maybe you're just disturbed? Certainly confused. Certainly mistaking my views for something else.
And now I'm accused of being racist for digging into this lady's past. I went to "great lengths", after all. I Googled "Joni Meyer-Crothers soccer coach".
And it turns out, this lady is a good person. She has adopted a number of children in need. I commend her for that.
Not perfect, but who is?

You defended the kid (sarcastically) in this very post. I bolded it.
You're trying to create a false equivalency between the actions of this mother in a completely separate incident vs the constant overwhelming abuse her child suffered at the hands of Mitch Miller.
You're right about the mother- it does seem like it was a poor choice to accost the coach about the decision, and certainly her husband assaulting the coach was wrong. But there's no indication that they continued to assault the coach over a series of years.
Mitch miller on the other hand...
Do you really see these as even remotely comparable situations?
