Sorry Dan, but you have no business giving fans the heave-ho. Your responsibiliies are on the floor and not in the stands. He's paid his money to yell. If you have a problem with a fan who's profane or threatening, then get management or security to handle it.

You do not have to put up with abuse - regardless of whether or not it is profane or threatening. This is especially true in a 5th grade game for goodness sakes!!!
There is no way that I would let that guy scream and yell at me like that the entire game. One word with game management and the problem is usually solved (you should definitely NOT handle the guy yourself).
It's one thing if it is a varsity or college game and there are many fans (those are the nice games to work - where you can't hear anyone in particular), but in a game at this level you do not have to let these parents subject you to abuse. Remember - it is an educational experience at the high school and lower levels - not a profession!
