A great example that you can't out-stupid, stupid. There is a "Teaching Moment" here and that is that behaving badly has consequences, that often involves people who are not to blame, and consequences are not always "fair".
The parents who gave (or permitted their children) signs to parade around like an, "old-fashioed strike" are just as guilty (well maybe not quite) of teaching the wrong message to their children. Remember, football is a "Team" game where everyone is responsible for and dependent on their teammates, which in this regrettable situation, included some really misguided adults.
When ANY team member misbehaves, it reflects on and affects EVERY team member (which is why wnen
ANY team member decides to act stupid,
EVERY other team member should act to stop the stupidity.)
