MESQUITE, Texas — A suburban Dallas boy has been barred from playing peewee football because the league says he is just too big at nearly 300 pounds.
Mesquite Pee Wee Football Association President Ronnie Henderson said the rules are clear and 12-year-old Elijah Earnheart is not eligible. The 6-foot-1-inch boy exceeds the 135-pound limit for seventh-graders, and he got the bad news last Sunday when the league held its official weigh-in.
Henderson said he asked Elijah whether he was in sixth or seventh grade, then told him "no need going" any further.
Cindy Earnheart, the boy's mother, said she was incensed and Elijah was humiliated.
"They would not even let him weigh in on the scales like every single boy out there," she said. "He might be the size of a grown man but he's 12 years old and he has feelings, too."
Elijah, who describes himself as a "gentle giant" and dreams of someday playing pro football, said the turn of events was unfair.
"I'm not sad, I'm mad that I don't get to play," Elijah said. "I've been practicing for three weeks."
Henderson said three other boys were turned away that day because of safety concerns for other players.
"We've got little boys that play against him that are 85, 95 and 100 pounds," Henderson said. "We have to look out for all the kids, not just him."
Cindy Earnheart said her son was feeling self-conscious about his size until he discovered peewee football. His barber happened to coach a team, the Mesquite Vikings, and suggested the boy join. Coach Marc Wright said a passage in the rulebook seemed to indicate that youths who weigh more than 135 pounds could play, but only on the offensive or defensive line.
At his physical last month, Elijah's doctor said he weighed 297 pounds and stood 6-feet-1 1/2 inches tall. His mother said they special-ordered his helmet, shoulder pads, pants and jersey because of his size, which she said is hereditary in her family.
Elijah took the practice field, looming over boys more than half his size, and was thrilled..
When he's playing football Elijah said, "I feel energetic. I feel happy."
He practiced with the Vikings for three weeks and even took part in a scrimmage. Then came the weigh-in.
Henderson said the exception in the rulebook was meant for sixth-graders who can weigh as much as 160 pounds. He suggested Elijah play for his middle school team, but the boy doesn't have much football experience and was hoping to feel his way in peewee first.
Cindy Earnheart said barring her son was discrimination.
"No one is telling boys who are too thin or too small that they can't play football," she said. "Why tell my kid he's too big?
She added: "Isn't bigger better in football? Football is a contact sport. If you don't want your son tackled, get him off the field."

135 pound limit for someone that is 13 years of age what kind of beta fucking football are these kids playing. ??? ??? ??? ???
-
6 foot 2, 300 pounds... 12 years old...
He can rest assured the NFL payday he sees one day will make it worth it.

Dead before 18 and the media will blame the caffiene that increased his heart rate and made it dangerous for him to be running around playing football.
-
he will surely have major health problems later in life. I used to teach middle school and there were some kids that had what looked to be legit NBA or NFL frames by 8th grade, age 14-15.
300 pounds at 12 though... that seems beyond comprehension, he may not be the athletic type at that size.
-
I remember back in the peewee days they used to have a 100 pound limit on running backs and it was always that 99.5 lb kid who was running all the other kids over left and right.
-
Why is he wasting his time trying to be a pro football player. Should set his goals on becoming an IFBB pro.

Yes, because you're the only trainer who supposedly knows what they are doing ::) ::). What makes you so certain that a high school coach is going to do this?

Because most do. You need to learn the difference between a strength and conditioning coach and a FOOTBALL coach.....son! But wait, I forgot...YOU'RE the expert, right????

haha, because every single football coach knows nothing about strength and conditioning ::). Plus, if its a team with a good income(perhaps a team from a rich neighborhood) they may have a strength and conditioning coach, and if they do, I am sure he would not allow the coach to do what youre suggesting.

evading the topic because you know youre wrong. I bet there are tons of football coaches who could train most football players better than you. :D :D
Maybe you need to pray harder for more knowledge about strength and conditioning :D :D

Probably..but trust me when I say the odds are in my favor. As far as the highlighted....try me. I gave you a scenario some months back, but regardless...fuck you.

Odda are in your favor? Why? Give me a reason as to why the odds are in your favor? You spew a bunch of nonsense without ever really backing it up.

On this point you are very correct...some high school football coaches actually don't believe in heart rate monitors for their charges, and they overtax the kids.
Also...he is twice the size of the other kids...He could kill/permanently injure one of them...It's called peewee for a reason.

Fuck him and the mom and that kids feelings. She's whining over some bullshit knowing that her fat ass son could seriously hurt a smaller kid out there. She's doing this to try to sue or something. Its called the pee wee league and he ain't pee wee....he needs to take his ass to the middle school league

I tend to agree.

I tend to agree.
both of you guys are nuts..
so whats next ? if your under 8% BF you cant play football? teh philosophy being that if your 135lb at 8% bodyfat then you MUST be muscular and hitting the gym, therefore you can seriously harm someone ?
what a fucking load of bullshit
what people fail to realize is that the kid not only is big boned, he is also 6ft fucking 2 ... he's not some overly obese kid with triple chin and three layers of belly rolls, he looks like a defensive end type of body
thats what sports are about, its about using your gentic and diet...
again, whats next ? some 7th grader whos 80lbs and runs lightening fast, you guys gonna criticise the mom for not feeding him and therefore its not fair because he is so fast cuz he's 40lbs lighter than what the school says is the limit?
thats BS...
and you guys are missing the fact that he's 6'2, the mom overfeeding him doesnt cause the kid to get taller ( evidence by alot of fat short kids)

So, the rules were clear to everyone from the get-go. This is an outrage. ::)

Easy fix.....let him play up a level or with older kids....he'll be better for it.
-
this fucking suck and here i am buying up a bunch of roids to bulk up to 300lbs and some 12 year old kid is already there.
-
If he wants to be a pro he should play the big boys... simple. that's what they do for hockey with all the stars when they are young. kids playing and beating grown men... then later when they are older they are better.
-
That's way to fucken big. He would destroy the other kids. Make his big butt wait until he gets in middle school.
-
He looks like a fully grown man.
Sucks for him but eh would injure people.
He has 30-35lbs on me and I am 26!
-
what the fuck is this mother feeding her son with daily?
She should be on trial for getting her son so fat.

Hes' no 297.. maybe 197 - 230 based on those images. 297please... One guy i played with was 290, 6'1" at 20 years old and was a proportioned monster.
eithe way.. he's too big and goofy to be playing yet anyways. he'll be the one getting hurt before anyone else.

You can't compare a 12 year old at 297 a 20 year old at 297. It's two totally different worlds.

they apparently don's show a full pic of him--he's conviently either sitting down, or they cut off the pic....he's 297, look at the chin, the calves and the arms.If he wants to be a pro he should play the big boys... simple. that's what they do for hockey with all the stars when they are young. kids playing and beating grown men... then later when they are older they are better.
Football is a lot diff than hockey...chances are that kid hasn't even really learned how to play yet, and you want to stick him in "with the big boys"? Please, baby Huey would start crying

You're right up there with jtsunami when i comes to irritating the Fuck out of me. I swear you're one of my biggest trolls. (Yes, you ARE a troll). FYI, I trained the mother of the football player in the blindside...so blow me.

Did you make her do jumping jack and 8 push ups, 6 sit ups, and 7 wide grip pull ups?
-
they invited him to play with the high schoolers. Mom said NO becuase he didnt know any of the kids.
Sorry, but a 300 pound kid will KILL an 80 or 100 pound kid. Can't let him play, no way.

If he lived in some Podunk small town he'd probably already be on the varsity.

Good thing you upped the dosage?
