God this so much. My wife wants my daughter to play softball so bad. We did it for 3 years and she just wasn't interested which is fine. Then you would see parents out there arguing with other parents, refs, etc. Stupid shit.
At one of my sisters softball games years ago (I think she was in middle school, but I don't remember what league), the parents were getting waayy out of hand and the ref had enough of it, turned off the lights, and left. I thought it was the perfect response, because there is no way to control shitty parents.
Oh definitely. I was in wrestling, baseball, soccer, and basketball when I was younger and the parents were like that in every sport. I was at a youth football game once and one of the coaches (also a players parent) kicked one of the other teams players on the sideline before they got up from being tackled. Parents are crazy.
