I approve, because Khorne does not care from whence the blood flows, only that it flows.

One of my friends is a ref in a pee-wee soccer and football league and constantly deals with this crap.

Some people get mixed up and confused when they think they are defending their children. Teachers & coaches talk about how difficult some parents are to work with.

If only they have had rifles available.

That's why I quit coaching kids after one year.

Khorne leads the league in personal fouls every season.

Parents fighting is nothing. Ever seen video of a parent assualting a kid?

Down south they would sell their own children into slavery. If they did not do what they were told they threatened to tie them to the wiping post and beat them within an inch of their lives.

I meant assualting someone else's child who was winning against their own.

This is the same mindset that happens when there is road rage. I've had it aimed at me for "nothing". (such as when I pulled up recently beside a car where the driver gave me "**LL") (not sure if can use the word) because he thought I was blocking his view. It's not worth the chance of confronting someone who may be violent. I have bigger battles I want to fight and hills to die on. So now I say "sorry" or I mouth the words so the other person knows what I say. I do the same on the greenway when I'm riding my bicycle. Sometime people are rude, don't obey the rules, and block the bikers from being able to pass by without riding on the grass, so I just go around or go so slow that they finally give in and move over, in which case I say a polite "thanks". After that, many will say "sorry". Kindness always results in the most benefits. If it doesn't , then it is a reflection on them, not me. (sorry for this short sermon)

Really? Wow, what ever happened to good sportsmanship? Actually If you read Dennis Waitley he wrote a book called the double win. He things the sports mentality is a lot of the problem we have in this country where you have to have a winner and a loser. His solution in life is to negotiate a deal so that everyone is a winner and there are no losers. Success is a two way street.

This is why we need to issue guns to everyone.

I coached for 7 straight years and it was quite interesting to say the least.

I participated in the sport I coached at the division one college level and over that seven years, I had more mothers telling me I had no clue what I was doing than dads.

I swam competitively for over 10 years. At one point my coach split off from the AAU team he was associated with over various issues.

What was extremely interesting is he created a rule, no parents at workouts, none, ever. Show up 5 minutes before the end you can sit in your car in the parking lot.

The sad part is it was a good rule.

A Great rule.

It would also help, if they didn't show up at the games.

LOL
You know better than that. But they need rules at the beginning of the season that say you will be kick out if you cannot set a good example of sportsmanship for the kids. Then follow through with that rule.
We had to do this at our high school basketball games because of a couple of dads and one in particular. He did get kicked out of games. We just didn't put up with that from our kids or their parents.

What is really bad is when there is a whole crowd supporting the other team and they all take to booing the refs and the other team. These were the parents from an elite school where the parents were college educated and much more wealthy than our community. That just shows that education and money doesn't determine how classy a person is.

have any those moms tried to take a swing at you?

honestly, I don't get those parents' mentality, and it scares me to think those people are responsible for bringing up our next generation.

whatever happens to all we need is love
