This is so true.
I played PEE WEE football around 1978 & 1979 and I remember TONS of trash talking. (Kids & Coaches)
We played a team called Northside K of C and they had an extra tall lean muscled Carlos Dunlap type kid that called himself "The Gooch".
He was bad to the bone on offense and defense and he & his whole team trash talked ruthlessly. Their defensive linemen either casted their forearms or hardened up the forearm padding and would hit us in the head with their forearms as soon as the ball was snapped & until the whistle blew unless they were making a tackle. Some of their players may have been a year or two older than us.
ALL of the teams (including ours) had players trash talking at an X rated level and we were 11 years old.
Saying "you're next" would have gotten a G rating.
