Bad Soccer Moms and Dads Fenced In At Games
The weekend is upon us, and for many parents out there, it’s time to be athletic supporters. Some parents in Raleigh, North Carolina do merit comparison to smelly jock straps, thanks to their behavior at local youth football games. Unsportsmanlike behavior by rabid Raleigh football moms and dads reached English Soccer Match levels last year. So to keep these morons at bay, city officials decided to surround the playing fields with 6 foot fences. Just what Pop Warner had in mind, I’m sure.
It wasn’t enough that the city had to employ off-duty cops to maintain order during games, even go so far as to escort refs to their cars to avoid being beaten up by roving gangs of minivan-driving hooligans. How sad for these kids, not to mention the refs and coaches that volunteer their time to work with them, that a nice day at the football field turns into a WWF Cagematch. The article goes on to highlight the disturbing trend of unhinged parents, embittered by the knowledge that their glory days of playing third-string defensive lineman on the JV squad those many years ago are long behind them, taking out their warped frustrations on others. It’s a sad day when Barry Bonds and Terrell Owens really ARE better role models than some parents.
