Parents Behaving Badly

Parents Join Pile-On at Pee Wee Football Game

More bad-behaving parents at youth sports. This time, they’ve brought the violence down to the Pee Wee level. Date: this week. Location: Corpus Christi, Texas. The parents didn’t start the fire this time - it appears a coach did - but a few of them certainly didn’t mind getting in a few kicks for good […]

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

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.

Repeat After Me: Babies are not Footballs

Cardell Gallagher, a former minor-league football player for the Racine Raiders, had been taking a shower one morning and left his daughter in her bassinet with a 17-month-old also in the room. He heard his daughter crying, then heard a thump followed by more crying. He came into the room and saw that […]

Three Pennsylvania football coaches were arrested for their conduct during a game. All […]

Some parents in Raleigh, North Carolina do merit comparison to smelly jock straps, thanks to their behavior at local youth football games.

Dad Threatens Coach, Arrested for “Terroristic Threats”

I can totally relate to Robert Stanel’s situation. It’s really difficult to be a parent these days, and between drugs, alcohol, and coaches who don’t let your kids play football after being five minutes late to practice. So Stanel did what any reasonable parent would do — he threatened the coach’s life. […]

Parents Sue to Get Child on Flag Football Team

I don’t blame these parents to going for bat for their kid. Okay, it’s a little questionable insisting that a 151-lb. 11-year-old be allowed to play flag football in clear violation of the weight limit. Still, given that the limit is 150 lbs., it’s not unreasonable for Kyle St. Peter’s father, Kevin St. Peter, to […]
