From the sound of it, the couple might've just noticed the ref had his shoe untied and you got them banned for pointing it out.

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.

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

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

Dec 20, 12:53pm

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.

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.

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

kotacoug

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

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

kotacoug

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

Not with the abuse they get.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
