A Georgia youth football coach who was seen in a viral video this week striking his player twice and knocking him to the ground has been banned for life from the world’s largest youth football organization. American Youth Football announced Gerrell Williams’ ban on Thursday, days after the Savannah football coach was captured in a video hitting a player. "CCSO reviewed the video and we are very disturbed by the actions of Mr. Gerrel Williams," Chatham County Sheriff John T. Wilcher said in a statement. At the end of the day, I apologize to him, the kids, the city … and my family back at home. He forgave me and his parents have forgiven me, so nobody else should be bashing me,” the coach said.
