The coach looked at us and I told him if she was going to play, they had to be removed. It was a player safety rule and we could not overlook it. He told the mom and she again yelled, this time it was, "That's the stupidest thing I ever heard!" I was tempted to reply, "Then I guess you never watch Fox News", but I just ignored her.

After the game, the mom stormed down out of the bleachers to confront us. She yelled, "I want to talk to you" while pointing directly at me. I grabbed my coat from under the table and quickly put on my earmuffs. I turned to her and said, "Go ahead". She just stared as I picked up my bag and walked out.

Where would this world be without middle school moms?

(Political commentary deleted.) Edit: Yeah, Fox news is stupid, just agreeing with OP.
