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

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

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

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

kimdaddy35

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

Chasicle

Dec 20, 12:52pm

You just wanted to make fun of the grandma

kimdaddy35

Dec 20, 12:53pm

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

Chasicle

Dec 20, 1:03pm

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

Dec 20, 1:25pm

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.

This is a poor excuse for bad behavior.

We’re talking about volunteers or guys making like $20 a game. There is

kotacoug

Dec 20, 3:10pm

They make more than that. lol. Volunteers? This is high school basketball. No need to berate them but also no need to

kimdaddy35

lol… I’m sorry not $20…… FORTY a game. Haha point is the same

kotacoug

Dec 20, 10:16pm

$40 for an hour and 15 mins is pretty good.

kimdaddy35

Not with the abuse they get.

Where do you think the newest/least experienced b-ball refs are?

The outcome I was striving for was respect from parents. Is that a bad thing?

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

Chasicle

Dec 20, 2:25pm

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

kimdaddy35

Dec 20, 2:35pm

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

Chasicle

Dec 20, 3:11pm

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

Coug

Dec 20, 5:41pm

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

Chasicle

Dec 20, 5:50pm

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

I wasn't yelling at the refs.

They should have just thrown water bottles instead, no bans for that

How is it that you were sitting next to opposing team's family or them by you?

It's not your job to referee the fans

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

HouseDeeking

Dec 20, 1:50pm

Only cops are allowed to stand up to abuse?

Chasicle

Dec 20, 2:25pm

Fast and loose with the term "abuse"

HouseDeeking

Dec 20, 3:22pm

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

Chasicle

Dec 20, 4:24pm

None of those are abuse.

HouseDeeking

Dec 20, 6:47pm

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

This is dumb. All of you are right/wrong

Oh ok. I guess there isn’t actually an issue with parents berating refs. Thanks.

DrinkSuin

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.
