Parents Behaving Badly

Asshole Parents Bring Youth Football Team’s Season to Early End

by admin on October 25th, 2006

Here’s another light story for y’all. It’s a refreshing break from our usual murder and mayhem, and yet still a sad portrait of parents shitting all over their kids. That’s right - it’s another sports story! This one, from Brevard County, Florida, concerns the rookie team of the Port St. John Rockets, who are forced to warm the benches for the rest of the season thanks to a handful of asshole parents. After a questionable call by a referee in last week’s game, several moms and dads stormed the field and shouted obscenities at the official. Which, as we all know, is the perfect way to get a bad call changed. Nothing softens a referee up like calling him a shitsucking motherfucker! The officials forced the team to forfeit the game, which prevented them from qualifying for the playoffs.

On the one hand, I think that’s a crappy decision. It sucks ass that the kids have to suffer just because their parents are dorks. On the other hand, I know that coaches and youth league officials all across America are sick and tired of parents interfering with their kids’ games. They’re fed up with parental attempts to micromanage the teams, even to the point of forcing out coaches. And they’re disgusted at the displays of unsportsmanlike conduct coming from 30- and 40-somethings who should damn well know better.

Still, I’d love to see a solution that punished the parents without hurting the kids. Slap mom and dad with a $500 “parents behaving badly” fine that they have to play if they want their kid to play again. Don’t shut the entire team’s season down just because some people can’t control themselves.
