Pretty simple. You probably have a good team that should be playing 'A' level but they claim they're a 'C' team. So they play in 'C' tourneys instead of open tourneys.

Parents start getting testy when either the 'A' team starts getting beat or when the 'A' team starts creaming a true 'C' team and start being douchey about it.

The fact that you corrected "There" but not "Serious" is hilarious.

KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Video shows a brawl that broke out between parents and fans of two North Carolina girls softball teams at a Tennessee park.


The fight happened Saturday during a 12-and-under tournament sponsored by USA Softball, according to reports by the Kingsport Times-News. Canton's Blue Ridge Explosion team was playing the East Wilkes Cardinals at the field.

Todd McLemore with Kingsport's Parks and Recreation Department says a verbal confrontation between two sets of spectators escalated into a chaotic brawl after someone got pushed.

A video shows more than a half-dozen fans tackling each other to the ground amid a flurry of punches and kicks.


No injuries were reported, and no one was arrested, but both teams were disqualified from the tournament.

Fat white people who care waaaaay too much about their stupid kids sports are ruining this country.

There’s nothing more pathetic than this over-parenting and uber-involvement in your kids’ sports/activities
.

I'd say minorities under-parenting and lack of involvement is more pathetic and a far greater threat to the country.

That someone would fight over something this trivial baffles me.


agreed but lets face it, most fights are over trivial shite.

This is the reality of travel Ball. I don't see an issue if you are paying that much money and time to help your child achieve the ultimate dream of championship rings then I don't blame them for not standing by and taking bullshite from some loud mouth parent. It is what it is.

Probably the usual. Something happens in the game. Parent says something to a kid on the other team, their parent gets pissed and yells at that person... then it snowballs from there.

This is not what usually happens. Hardly ever if at all.

It’s usually the parents talking shite to each other and the coaches.
