Noon news says one person injured. Some people may face felony charges. Oh and the police say for the parents to grow up.
Anyway, I haven't seen any parents get physical, but nasty mom fights at school can get pretty bad. Lots of backstabbing and texting, some name calling and cursing, and calling in the reinforcements. Lol!
I wouldn't say it always has. I don't remember anything like this in the 60's and 70's. There's always one a**hat parent, but not like this.
Perhaps more today, but I am sure has happened as long as there has been Little League. But now things go viral in an instant. That is the biggest change.

It's really not the biggest change. Sure a stray parent or 2, but this kind of thing was rare. Parents back then backed authority for the most part.
Where were you raised, in the ghetto? This NEVER happened, not 20 years ago, not 50 years ago except in places inhabited by junkies and various uneducated slum meat.
Hell when it comes to Baseball it happen x10 more in the Suburbs and upper middle class Neighborhoods here in California. Most of the people in these Neighborhoods tend to think, their kid is an MLB Prospect till he gets to High School and gets cut from the team. Then they want Sue the School

How common is this today? Do you have stats? You assume because there are vital videos of this today and compare that with the limited scope of news before that you can draw comparisons and explain it. Of course you are going find more examples today.

Exactly. I don't know if it is or isn't more common -- what I do know is that when it happened when I was a youth, no one had recording devices at the ready, and social media did not exist.

I can see just from living life how differently people interact with each other across all manner of social events, how they interact with neighbors, school personnel, etc, etc. This is not happening in a vacuum. People are shorter fused today vs then. People feel more entitled to question authority today than they did then. People feel angrier and are quicker to fight over trivial things than they used to be. I don't need stats to tell me there was less road rage then, because I was alive and drove back then and I'm alive and drive today, and I can see the difference. Same with this. I don't need stats and I'm not making assumptions, I'm telling you how it was then based on my living through it and interacting with people. Of course there were angry people then too, but it was not like it is today, it just wasn't.
Still don't know what the call was about. Something with a player out of batting order?
Why was the umpire not an adult?
It's a crazy world
