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

but from yelling at the refs at a freshman girls basketball game.

It’s an epidemic in youth sports right now. Leagues are having a hard time finding people to ref for this very reason.

If we don’t stand up to these bullies, who will?

No offense, but it sounds like you are "that parent" now. Without you there would have been

Nah people like that who are getting on the refs need to be pushed back against.

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

kimdaddy35

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?

You going to be ok? Are you able to focus on the problem of youth sports and

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

Projection much?

Projection? LOL.

Chasicle

You just wanted to make fun of the grandma

kimdaddy35

12:53pm

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

Chasicle

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

kimdaddy35

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!

kimdaddy35

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

Refs know what they are signing up for.

No. I came to CB to show people that we should stand up to abusive parents. Even

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

kimdaddy35

2:35pm

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

Chasicle

3:11pm

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

Coug

5:41pm

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

Chasicle

5:50pm

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

I wasn't yelling at the refs.

There's nothing worse than people telling others how to fan.

It’s nice when others out themselves as part of the problem with youth sports

So you were being serious

kimdaddy35

It's not your job to referee the fans

BINGO

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?

Chasicle

Fast and loose with the term "abuse"

HouseDeeking

3:22pm

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

Chasicle

None of those are abuse.

HouseDeeking

6:47pm

Because it's a kids' game and fans have no right to yell at refs. I defended

You sitting there in silence only encourages fans to continue to berate refs.

Its ironic. For all the crap the board gives ALUFs for being okay with bad fans

No this would be like giving BYU fans grief for allowing Ute fans to be insufferable fans.

Its really not. Its like making fun of the unbearable Ute fan behind you

Would you do it at RES? What do you think the response would be?

You're right when you say venue matters
