He should claim he is gay
(or feels he is a lesbian)
and just trump every rule.
Nothing against the kid, but he just can’t play in the pee-wee league. He’d smash up those poor kids. If I were the local high school coach....I’d bring the kid and let him work out with the high school team....put him in physical shape for next years season, and prepare him. I’ve got a feeling that this kid will one day play for the Dallas Cowboys....just a humble feeling.
What's pee-wee about that? He needs to start a bull league.
Look at the pictures. This kid is not fat. But he has no business playing in that league.
ON ONE CONDITIION. MOM WILL BE THE BLOCKING DUMMY!
Mom needs to grow up.
This is not about your child lady. It is about all the other children who WILL get hurt playing with someone twice their size.
Why do you think the weight limit was put in place. Does the term PEE WEE not resonate with you???
There have been weight limits in Pee Wee football for 40 years. The limit used to be 115 lbs. It looks like they have raised it to 135 lbs to accommodate the increasing average weight of kids over the years.
It is a necessary rule. The kid will just have to wait until high school to play.
The weight limit is there for a reason. Pee Wee football is about teaching skills and preparing the kids for High School ball. There is no way little kids can stand up to somebody the size and strength of a 300 pound man.
Let the kid work out with his local High School squad. He will learn more and have a leg up in his Freshman year.
Win/Win Baby!
There have been very strict weight limits in youth football from it’s inception. I remember watching my bigger teammates on Pop Warner running/sweating off 5-6 lbs. prior to weigh in on game day.
His mother is a self-centered horror who ought to spend a few days on the field with a Texas high school team. How could any decent human being even consider trying to put a child on a contact-sports team with children 1/3 his size?
Perhaps swimming would be a good choice for her son - get him some good aerobic exercise without putting too much strain on his bones and joints. And yes, a 6-foot, 300 lb. person is not just big, but fat, unless he’s muscled-up like a prison lifer. I wonder what his mother looks like.
The story suggests that he hasn’t yet played football at age 13? That surprises me.
Here in football crazy Western PA, recreational football starts in elementary school.
300 pound Pee-Wee Player is an oxymoron
Like Jumbo Shrimp
(Is his nickname ‘Tiny’?)
Six levels of fatness according to comedian Gabriel Iglesias.
1. Big
2. Healthy
3. Husky
4. Fluffy
5. DAMMMN!
6. OH, HELL NO!
“A lot has changed, El Paso, a lot has changed. One thing’s for sure, I’m still the fluffy guy. And I say “fluffy” because that is the politically correct term, for those of you who don’t remember I used to say that there were Five Levels of Fatness. Reason why I say “Used to say” is because now there are six! Uh-huh, I met the new one in Las Cruces. The original five levels are Big, Healthy, Husky, Fluffy, and DAMN!
“People ask, “What could be bigger than DAMN!” The new level’s called “OH HELL NO!” What’s the difference? You’re still willing to work with level five. Example, if you’re on an elevator and you’re with your friend and this really big guy gets on and you and your friend look at each other and you’re like, “DAAAMN!” But you still let the big guy ride your elevator.
“That’s the difference. Level six, you see walking towards your elevator, [Deep growling noise] [Pretends to be a shocked passenger and starts pushing the “close door” button.] “OH HELL NO!” [Growl] “NO!!” [Growl] “NO!!” [Pretends to kick the fat man out] That’s the difference. The guy that I met was six foot eight, six hundred and fourteen pounds. Uh-huh, OH HELL NO!!
“And he was offended at my show. Not by anything that I said, but because of the fact that now at the shows I started selling T-shirts and apparently, I didn’t have his size. Keep in mind, I go all the way up to 5X on the T-shirts and he was like, [Deep growling voice] “You don’t have my size.” I was like, “Dude, I didn’t know they MADE you! I have up to 5X, I don’t have [Growl] X!” A picture of a dinosaur on the back of the tag, you know?”

When did that practice end?
If she forces them to let the kid play, and some other kid gets hurt his parents will sue, and the next thing you know there won’t be any pee-wee football at all.
The sad thing about this article is the insinuation that this is a new or unique instance. Maybe an attempt to turn this into some sort of twisted “civil rights” issue.
Truth is, every community every year kids are deemed too heavy to play pee-wee. I personally know kids now and back in my day that couldn’t play. It’s a safety issue.
I wonder what they’d say if this never happened and they were instead reporting on three kids hospitalized with concussions on one tackle.
He obviously should not be allowed to play. Football is all about fairness and it’s not fair to the other kids that they aren’t this big.
We had a 125 pound limit when I played in 8th grade.
