Parents Yelling At Each Other At A 6th Grade Sporting Event Is Always The Right Idea For Everyone Involved

A quaint town Sunday morning basketball league where the refs are still hung over from the night before and the rims are like nine feet off the ground, not exactly the time to be screaming and shouting at other spectators in the stands like you have $10,000 on the spread. Yet here we are.

At first watch, you may think the two parents involved in the initial confrontation are the worst people here. But you’d be wrong, and you should feel bad about being wrong. The worst person here, by a country mile, is this “Oh wont somebody PLEASE think of the children???” in the face lady who jumps in approximately 10 minutes too late.

I can’t even imagine how many strongly penned emails she’s blasted off to the PTA with that world’s largest iPad she has in her mitts. The principal and multiple town representatives CC’d on every single one of those bad larrys, too. In fact, I’d go as far to say that the two people shouting were the most normal people there. The rest of the weirdos sitting on theirs hands not telling either of them to shut the fuck up and remind them that this actually isn’t Game 7 of the Finals need to grow up. A simple, “Hey Bill, Taryn is new here. She doesn’t know everyone’s kid yet. They have different standards of play down in Biloxi where she’s from. Maybe cut her some slack this time.” And that whole situation is defused before it ever gets to that point.

Sidebar in the middle of the blog, first in history never been done before – whoever #22 is that caused this whole stir must really, truly stink at 6th grade basketball. This lady couldn’t believe that kid was out there stinking it up near her kid. She couldn’t watch #22 stink for one more second without making a comment. She scanned the crowd around her and said “which one of these weak seeded parents could’ve possibly birthed such a scrub” and went to war, albeit with the wrong parent but her point was made nevertheless. Alright, back to the blog.

Instead everyone is filming the shit like they’re going to post it on whatever the Middle Aged equivalent to Worldstar is before the fake outrage kicked in because buddy said a bad word. Oh the horror!
