The club offered a meek apology for the coach's actions and wrote "Please keep the negative comments off this page please this organization has great coaches we understand what we all saw yesterday was disturbing to us all but let’s not blame everyone for one mans actions. The organization is not at Nationals we have only 2 age groups a National 7U & 9U with only those coaches of those age groups witch [sic] the guy in the video is our 9U head coach he is a good guy that just took it a little to [sic] far on a 9U player we understand and we are aware of what’s going on and will like to apologize to the #BigPeachConference…." in a  Facebook post. The apology drew further outrage and Gators subsequently delete the post after much criticism.

The video made way to LeBron James via Shannon Sharpe, and the Los Angeles Laker star was visibly upset by what she saw. The 35-year-old wrote that if he was here during the incident, he wouldn't care if it was his kid or not, and would have taken on the coach for assaulting the child. And while the coach wouldn't fancy the NBA legend's blows looking his ripped physique, YouTuber Jake Paul is keen on getting inside the ring with the Lakers star. Paul recently challenged LeBron on Twitter, after his brutal knockout of former NBA star Nate Robinson.
