The officials and other teams players or even their own. If they are being ultra negative to any of those groups they should be put in their place.

Opposing teams fans are 100% not the people to do that. Sorry I disagree with your premise.

I disagree. Everyone, including even if it’s someone on your on side, needs to

So in your opinion, the bigger problem is fans yelling at the refs as opposed to picking fights in the

Yes. And it’s not picking fights by standing up to them. If they react in that

A grandma makes a comment about roller derby and you throw it back in a grandma's face

Found the insufferable fan sympathizer. Just say you’re worse than these parents

Is this your response? When you resort to trying to mock (like in your story) you might

I like how you’re so focused on that part of the story. How about focus on the

You mean the part of the story that started the fight? Why do you think I focus on that?

Again another post that ignores what is going on and tries to throw attention away

The only one who wanted to fight was the idiot parent who couldn’t help himself

Chasicle

You just wanted to make fun of the grandma

kimdaddy35

Nah. The grandma was right there whining about the calls with the rest.

Sorry I was taught to respect my elders, too bad you were not taught manners.

lol. You really are something. It’s clear you’re one of those parents who can’t

Chasicle

Clearly, I think you acted poorly so I must be horrible to refs!

We can clearly see it did. Those abusive fans are banned and will either realize

Refs know what they are signing up for.

Funny as I have seen some very effective posts doing that. It would have gone something like:

You’re too invested in this. Be a better fan.

Chasicle

You be a better person and just mind your own business. Next time get up and move.

Coug

Nope. These fans need other fans to tell them to stop or it won’t stop.

Chasicle

Good point... So why don't you stop it.

I wasn't yelling at the refs.

It's not your job to referee the fans

Things will never change if we sit there and let it happen.

I didn't say to sit there and let it happen

Only cops are allowed to stand up to abuse?

Fast and loose with the term "abuse"

HouseDeeking

Harassment? Yelling? Being bad fans? Amy of those better?

None of those are abuse.
