So I attended a Youth Baseball Game tonight - the 10U team from the same program was playing in a neighboring town. Sat in the visitor side stands, which means I root for the visiting team. Simple.
About 15-20 feet away were parents of the home team boys - and beside being absolute buffoons by 'assisting' their teams 3rd base coach - who listened to this group and subsequently got a boy thrown out at home (dumb) - were quite apparently drinking alcoholic beverages out of very large blue plastic cups. They had a car illegally parked, a cooler visible in the open trunk and they proceeded to have a few during a 90 minute ballgame featuring 10 year olds.
Now, where I come from, that is called HAVING A PROBLEM. You mean to tell me you can't go a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon and watch your kid play ball and be satisfied? What a bunch of losers. And the coach of the team has absolutely no balls for telling them it is unacceptable. Like it or not, if a player got in a car with a drunk parent and was involved in an accident, isn't that coach somehow responsible? Just a thought.
