I never read anything positive about youth sports nowadays. Why are parents so obsessive and weird about your kids playing baseball? None of them are ever going to make it anyway.

Just have fun.

I've been both a coach and a parent/fan. My perspective is : if you don't like how the coach handles things, get your own team and coach your kid. Put all the time in for practices/games/administration of schedules/dealing with parents and then get upset. Until then, appreciate that someone cares enough to spend time with your kid.

You can still go to jail for putting somebody is a chokehold moron

It's not just baseball. Parents want to live vicariously through their children. It's desperate and pathetic. I've helped out with a few junior golf tournaments, and the wailing and gnashing of teeth over a few ****ed up golf shots by 12 year olds is appalling.

The more honest question is does anyone take you seriously?

Just to let you know I hacked up a lougy laughing. Thank you.

I blame women. ;)

Ok.

Does anyone take you seriously?

Is that a serious question?

You should make a poll.

I'm assuming pretty much everyone here played little league. Bad calls by umps happened every game. It's freaking junior high and elementary kids..who do you expect is out there calling the games?

And after a bad call was made EVERYONE knew the call was wrong. Coaches, players (on both teams), and parents in the stands. That was part of the learning experience. Knowing that not everytime in life things turn out the way you want them or even fairly. These dads that curse and attack referees, other parents, and other kids are setting such a horrible example for their kids. Most of the kids of these psychos know it too. But what can they do?

Nothing will ever be as bad as this though,

I would ask if you are hitting on me but your avatar tells a different story #creepstatus

Those sneaky Ninjas! They pop out nowhere with those crazy ninja fighting skills.

And it's. Always something like my kid doesn't get enough playing time.

If he didn't suck he would get a ton of playing time. Guess what he sucks.

He's done it all!
