I know the topic is baseball parents, but....
Working a youth basketball game. Mom of a player is riding her kid whenever he does something wrong. I'm hearing it, feeling sorry for the player (who's by far the best on the floor), but I'm ignoring her.
He misses a layup, ball knocked out of bounds, and I'm moving past her (sitting in the 1st bleacher row), when she yells "that was a F***ing awful shot"!
Now, I could've stopped play, found the gym super or use the player's coach, to address that, but instead, in that sich!, right then and near her, I told her if I heard that type of language again, I'd have her escorted out of the gym. Parents lightly applauded, it took all of 3 sec, and she was quiet after that...
I believe in ignoring fans or having admin deal with a problem, but sometimes in a HTBT sich?........
