Which Sport Produces The Worst Parents?

This would be like associating all writers and their parents with "Idiots", because this one sounds that way.

Sometimes when one is given space to publish articles, it is obvious where there brains are located.

Did you read the article, especially the one about holding in farts?

Football is 7th, behind cheerleading, tennis, gymnastics, hockey, figure skating and BASEBALL ??? This write has no credibility.

I have had umpires ask why I don't work football. But whenever I see a football game, I see some coach/parent berating the side judge on his sideline about a penalty that someone else on the crew made. I'd be calling unsportmanship penalties all game long (since EJ doesn't seem to be an option). I'd wear out my welcome in football officiating very quickly.

I think baseball parents get a bad rap because many umpires put up with their crap too long and parents think that its acceptable. It shouldn't be. I am all for parent involvement and think they should attend little Johnnie's games, but they aren't required to be there and shouldn't be allowed to stay if they can't behave.

I went ahead and moved this because it applies to all sports and we should use this section more.

Problem is, this will probably be the last post for this thread. And I really think it is a baseball issue, since the writer was bashing baseball parents in particular.
