A little league game turned into a giant brawl between parents and coaches in Colorado

I’m thinking this was about more than just a little league game and more about scores to settle. I could be wrong.
White shirt at the end who put tubby on the ground. He started out as a peacemaker. Just using my eyes. It’s easy, not racism. Pointing it out isn’t racism. Truth isn’t racist. Nice try with the libtard tactic though. Feel better Sir knight.
I was fortunate growing up to have my elementary school and a golf course and park within walking distance. We played pick ball games or street bail and just adjusted the rules for the number of players. Pitcher’s mound out, batting team catches, call your outfield, etc.
It’s a weird psychological phenomenon.
Do you think it’s more “Oh no that’s not fair to my precious little baby” or “I am living vicariously though my 12 year old’s athletic career because I am a pathetic douche”?
Both.
If the kid(s) have ACTUAL, GOING PLACES TALENT, they should be going to sports academies, etc. Different level.
The other 99.9999%? Play ball and have fun! Make some friends while you’re at it.
Douchebag parents spoil the main purpose of organized kid sports.
I’d say it’s a lot of BOTH.
As a coach I had to deal with “Problem Parents” a lot. The kids mostly were great; one or two occasionally that were difficult to deal with (and I made sure they weren’t on the team the following season), but again, it was mostly because of lousy parenting/lack of discipline.
THAT particular brawl in the video, I have no clue. I couldn’t get past the “Jesus Lady” filming it. She was ridiculous.
But I’ve seen people lose their minds because their kid struck out, and then flip out on umpires - OR yell at the kid (dads). It’s ridiculous. It’s a GAME, and the kids are there to learn a sport and enjoy the experience.
All in all, I enjoyed the time. Got to be with my kids and watch them grow up. It was a lot of work but well worth it.
