It's too bad that the association has to go as far as to ban parents from their kid's games but if they're going to be assholes then it's deserved.

I feel bad for those kids though. How embarrassing it must be.

It is brutal, and not limited to children's leagues.

I play in very low level CCRHL, and we have had players forced to leave the game, to escort their guests out, due to the same issues.

35+ adults escorting out 70+ parents...if it wasn't so sad, it would be comical.

When parents act like this in public, it sure makes you concerned about what they're like in private.

Strange thing is that I think that there's absolutely no problem when they're in public. Some parents just react very badly when they see their kids play competitively.
