Parents from North Carolina at a 12-and-under USA Softball-sponsored game got into a brawl in Tennessee. The screams of girls could be heard in a viral video that was quickly circulated on social media. Parents tend to get worked up at their kids' games, but with tempers flaring and fights becoming the norm at these events, maybe parents shouldn't be allowed in if they can't control themselves. Still, these children need support from their parents to succeed. What do you think?
When kids play sports, it's not the children who need to be supervised--it's the parents. Whether they're overbearing or living vicariously through their children, adults behave worse than their children at youth sporting events. Until parents prove they can control their emotions and act rational, they should not be afforded the privilege of watching their kids play sports.
Not every parent is a rage monster nutjob. There are parents who are genuinely there to support, rather than criticize. They shouldn't be lumped in with the angry lot and treated like they did something wrong. A lot is said about parents being there for their kids. It would be awful to bar them from a child's big game.
