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

[SamAdams76]

When I was in Little League in the 1970s, I was dropped off or picked up after practice if I was lucky. Usually I walked. My mother went to a few games and mostly read her book and had very little idea what was going on on the field. My father came once and took me for ice cream afterwards.

I don't remember a parent yelling at a coach or umpire ever.

All I'm saying was it was a different time. Kids were allowed to be kids and expected to behave themselves without constant parental supervision. The parents didn't have to micromanage their entire existence.

I remember dropping my own son off at practice in the 1990s. Pretty much every kid had parents in lawn chairs and coolers watching every minute of practice. Never saw the point of that.

I coached my son’s T ball team at the local Y.

First thing I had to do was to school the moms to sit down and shut up. These kids didn’t know how to run. Had to start with the very basic skills.

My son is 25 now and is a huge baseball fan because of his early days playing the game.

I prefer to make fun of all idiots regardless of ethnicity. I will also admit I can do the odd idiotic thing myself but it’s more along the line of leaving a drink on the roof of the car and driving off with it still there.

Well, I mean, a 13 year old umpire?
Have you seen the wandering strike zones they have? Don’t even get me started on a check swing or a bang-bang play at second base.
Blow enough calls and a donnybrook is sure to follow.

WTF is “teal”?

It can be found near "taupe" and "topaz"

Rule of thumb when you hear of a public brawl:

If it’s in a store it’s black people

If it’s at a kids sporting event, it’s white people

I think you’re right.

[NFHale]

But the REAL question I have is this....

Was it a BALL or was it a STRIKE?????

As a former youth baseball coach myself for 14 years, I’ve seen some crappy examples of how people treat each other over stupid sh*t at kids ballgames. Many times I wound up being a referee between parents. Some of it was just downright ridiculous. The KIDS were more mature than some of the parents.

And to the lady filming the video: apparently, Jesus wasn’t listening. Good lord... over and over and over and over again..

Draw the line at “Mauve”!

Yeah OK, so it’s blue-green, kinda weird looking.

Pretty sad behavior on the field. What a bunch of lowlifes. Jeeze Louise that is SAD

Seven year olds learning. I’m not sure but the rules are different
for this group I think.

The only thing I could see triggering this kind of brawl is if one of the adults was taunting one of the children, the parent of the taunted child got mad, and things escalated from there.

If you close your eyes and just listen to the audio, you can definitely believe humans are descended from apes. And in this case, descended as in a step-down from apes. What a bunch of stupid ratchets.

Sports, you know, builds character.

looked again and again and again.

does your racism make you actually SEE black where white is?

[Catmom]

AKA white trash.

I’m thinking this was about more than just a little league game and more about scores to settle. I could be wrong.
