Shame Is The Name of The Game
If you have played sports, have a child that does or even perused the Internet in the past 20 years...
You have probably caught a parent(s) acting crazy. Fighting, arguing or worse. I was always around sports as a kid.
Baseball was my primary sport. My son is playing soccer currently and we travel a lot, so I get to see a bunch of different areas parents and refs(umps).
This weekend we played at Cedar Point Outdoor Sports Center which is a pretty nice setup. 15+ Fields set up for baseball but soccer fields can be placed on them depending on age groups.
At one point there was a lightning warning and everyone in the park - 15 fields x 2 teams is 30 teams of at least 9... 270 players plus probably 100 players in batting cages and waiting for their next game. All the parents and workers had to evacuate. It was not fun...
So some parents were angry, some more than others... The Refs threatened to Eject a number of fans... it made me think of this new rule in New Jersey.
I give all the props and accolades to umpires, refs, coaches and whoever is working with our youth creating good sports.
This new rule may make rowdy parents in the spotlight....
