It still doesn't measure up to parents at a t-ball game
yelling "LITTLE CHEATERS!" into 5 year olds' faces just
because their team lost on a technicality the kids knew
nothing about. :evil:
Maybe this thug is those people's kid grown up... :x

I was once at a kid's soccer game where the refs ordered the parents to the parking lot so the kids could play the game. Parents get *stupid*.....

In this case, I hope the kid is banned from Little League/Babe Ruth forever.

Are you kidding? The parents probably rewarded him. :roll:
Kids' league sports parents can be the driving force behind
this sort of crap. I yelled, screamed, coached from the stands,
etc., but some of the parents are way, way over the top.
One parent told Mr D to beat her kid if he didn't play well enough
when "we" were coaching soccer. This was 8-10 yr olds! :evil:
