They should not be paid attention to as much as coaches or players, but if they are persistent with their remarks, they should be taken care of. Considering the situation and that he was already warned, the right thing was done. I don't take it as bragging tj like jiiecone. Some of the hot dogs on here think that they have to be a smart-alec about every thread and reply posted. My words to you are "good work"

Let's say we agree that "out of control parents/fans shoud be dealt with...period." It really is not our job to do this...period. If this guy was known to be a problem, why didn't the league administrator's do something about it?
This isn't about being thick skinned either. This is about doing the job we are paid for and not other's jobs. We are paid to take care of things that happen "inside the fence." If the league does not want to remove the fan from the stands for showing his tail and you would like the league to do such; you have two choices 1) ask them to take care of it away from the game or 2) don't work those games.
tjones, you really were wrong to do this. While we might all agree he deserved to go, you were not within your rights to do so...period.

The league administrator's did do something about it, after he was removed from the game. This type of sportsmanship is not approved in my area for this league. I would agree that if it was high school or higher that it might be different. But whenever you are trying to set examples for kids, I think that's a different story.
I could be wrong and I would certainly have no problem admitting I was. Good day.
