Sportsmanship 7
At a Pop Warner practice in Mass, it’s a wonderful thing:
Michael VonKahle, 48, suffered a shattered eye socket, a broken nose, and a concussion in the fight, which took place in a secluded area during the Friday night practice behind Wilmington Town Hall, according to interviews conducted by police. No charges have been filed.
The coach is blaming the parent. The parent is blaming the coach.
Maybe someone should consider stop organizing kids to their eyeteeth and just letting them play with each other.
They could steal stop signs, drive fast, and tp teachers’ yards like I used to do.

The parents should stay home & let the kids play, just like we did before it was socially acceptable for parents to go to every game & make fools of themselves.
Or somehow try to live vicariously (sp) through their kids. Like the beauty pagent moms. (More makeup on a 6 year old than I wore, when I wore makeup is a serious peeve!)

It’s gotten much worse.

Yeah, I know it’s gotten worse. I’ve seen it.
It’s not just the parents. It’s also some of the coaches.
We were lucky when my kids were in Little League. Brandywine LL was really good about keeping parents in line.

The one here? The one where the guilty party has died of something?
