[QUOTE="Forza Azzurri, post: 658994, member: 1452"]
This year I helped coach my son's third grade lacrosse team. At this age, they allow one or two coaches from each team on the field with the kids. At one of our games, the other team's coaches on the field were a couple of real gavones. Screaming and yelling the entire time (only at their own team's players). One of the other assistant coaches comes over to me and says, "Does it bother you the way those coaches are acting?".
 
I looked at him and started laughing. This coach's oldest was in third grade while my younger one is in third grade (my older one is in 7th). He is just getting his first taste of how parents/coaches/refs and kids can act.
 
I told him, "This is nothing. I've seen parents fighting, coaches fighting, parents screaming at players - own team and opposing; coaches screaming at players - own team and opposing; players screaming at coaches, refs and parents. What this guy is doing barely registers."
 
And my rule of thumb is that the fatter they are, the less athletic they are and the less they know about the sport, the more loud and obnoxious they are likely to act.
 
Youth sports are just awful.
