These parents show their football kids who's the boss

Parents showing up their kids on the football field? Sign us up for more of that.

Every once in a while, a social media post really resonates and this one is certainly doing just that. Parents stepping up to the challenge and taking on their kids.

Laying down a good hit and also taking one too.

And you know the best thing about clips like these? No one is hurt. There’s no taunting. But the kids learn a little dose of humility, something that can help carry them through a stage of life and development.

Also, they can gain a new respect for their parent through the gentle (or not so gentle reminder) that mom and dad still have some game in their step.

And it shows. This is just fun.

The Parents didn’t hold back

That open-field tackle by the third parent in the clip? Whoa. Probably would get flagged for targeting in today’s game but that looks like a good, clean hit from here.

Of course, this isn’t the first time that a video like this has made an impression on social media. And we sure hope it won’t be the last.
