The founder of a Rhode Island youth American Football team said yesterday its season is ending early after a coach bizzarely put an adult into a game against 13 and 14-year-old players.

Local side Capital City Buccaneers founder Alexandra Diaz says she had stepped away from the Sunday game in Scituate, Massachusetts when the coach let the young man believed to be at least 18 take part in several plays in an attempt to put the team in a winning posistion before getting kicked out.

It has been reported that the team had been losing when the incident occurred. Parents spotted the man suit up on the sideline.

Diaz confirmed the coach took full responsibility and has been fired.
