Why Was Trent Dilfer Fighting a High School Student On His Football Team?
In the footage Trent Dilfer verbally abuses a high school student football player wearing a number 4 on his jersey. It’s alleged he was talking back to him, before he went irate. Trent Dilfer grabbed the high school player by his jersey, and repeatedly tells him to “sit down” on the ground like a child. His player didn’t comply, at least the video doesn’t show he does.
It was a verbal fight between Trent Dilfer and the High School player, but luckily no punches were thrown.
Will Trent Dilfer Get Fired?
