Look no further than the 'parents' and 'adults' these days when you wonder why things are so messed up.

Police are calling on parents to "grow up" after a fight broke out at a Little League baseball game near Denver, Colorado.

Parents and coaches were unhappy with a call made by the 13-year-old umpire during Saturday's game, according to the Lakewood Police Department. They then stormed the field and began punching each other as the 7-year-old players looked on.

Sooo disgusting. And the kids were watching...

Some role models.

Disgusting. How can we expect kids to be civil when the adults act like savages?

Disgusting. But I’d be lying if I claimed this didn’t go on when I played sports as a kid 20-25 years ago.

This did NOT happen when my kids played kid's sports in the 1990s-2010.

Everyone was civil, with the very fewest exceptions, and those parents were QUICKLY checked by other parents.

There were NO brawls.

Ok... I’m telling you that it did when I played, on a few occasions. That was in the 90s-2000s. There were times when the coaches got involved too.

Wow, I never encountered anything like that at some little league game. Heck I never encountered anything like that at any kids sporting event except one racially motivated situation at a high school football game, but that is a lot older and race was involved.

I think these people need to get help.

BASEBRAWL


An umpire's call
Soon led to a brawl
The parents performed
The kids watched it all

Their words were profane
They acted insane
Next game in a week
Pray for some rain

I coached little league 15 or so years ago and the parents were terrible then and ultimately why I stopped. During one of our seasons a parent backed the umpire up against the fist baseline fence which happened to be 4ft, arguing over a call and eventually shoved the ump. It flipped him over the fence and he broke his arm. The parent ended up going to jail over it. Our umps where mostly ball players from the local high school and the parents were total dbags to them and the coaches most of the time

Lady, Jesus ain't got nothing to do with it.
