People brawl on the ground at Little League Game.
What is so worth it?
Geeeeez.
I remember playing a little league game where a coach got so heated with the home plate umpire that at one point the portly ump was rolling on the ground trying to get away from the coach because he was kicking him.
I remember thinking that this was pathetic.
The ump just headed for his car and the game ended and I was pissed. We wanted TO PLAY.
Look at this catcher. Do you think he gives a crap about whatever set this off?

I was waiting for the catcher to start picking his nose.
Life in the Animal Kingdumb. (That ain’t a typo)
Live stream the games and don’t allow any family members to attend. Shit heads aren’t worthy of watching their kids have fun.
Pathetic. Sickening. Disgusting. Wanna know how to fix this shit? Pretty simple, really. As Head Ref I’d call the League and tell them offender was no longer allowed to coach, nor was he/she allowed to be present on the field. Offender’s Pennance? He/she had to become a referee. 100% success rate. By the way. The absolute worst offenders were bull dykes.
Back in the day one of my lifting buddies kid and my son were on the same Baseball team. One game we had to jump in and split up the opposing coaches. The following basket ball season our kids were on the same team again, and we had to jump in and split up two opposing coaches during a basket ball game. It’s sad when parents need to live their lives vicariously through their 10 year old kids.
My sons refused to play little league baseball because the parents fought too much. Smart kids.
It really knocks all the joy out of the game. I often stop by the local ball field to watch the kids play. Some parents tend to be assholes. The same ones, all of the time. The coaches don’t take much shit from them. Which is good.
Many moons ago, my oldest brother was in Little League and then Babe Ruth League. Never had any incidents like this. Totally “professional”.
Today’s parents are unfit. What message are they sending to the kids?
Good gawd; is there anyone in that scrum that weighs less than 300#?
Back when I was umpiring (about 35 years ago) there were a few dust ups with some of the parents of the 13 – 15 year old boys. The worst was the parents of the little girls playing softball and almost all of the time it was the mothers screaming at the top of their lungs at the umpires.
In one case a mother cussed me for several minutes because I called her little girl out on strikes – she kept yelling that she couldn’t have struck out because she didn’t even swing at the ball. The little girl didn’t make a fuss at all (she must have understood the rules).
Must be 6 months till Black Friday.
