Toxic Parent Supporters
I think they call it over invested parenting which in my book is another word for retard.
I read a post from @bozz.sports last week where he discussed how a group of parents ruined a college basketball game. Really sad really that parents can have the ability to ruin something that should be a special moment in their kids lives. A lack of morals and manners not giving a damn about others around them only caring about the result going in their favor.
Unfortunately this is all nothing new and have witnessed this many times not only growing up as a young boy in sports teams but after school in the "adult" world. Playing school boy rugby we used to hear comments from parents such as "kill them" or ref you are a f..king cheat.
Things obviously get bad and should never have gotten to this point, but understand it happening as have witnessed toxic parents firsthand.
Bozz's post reminded me about an incident I had whilst refereeing in the UK many years ago. At this point I must have had a good few hundred games under my belt and was on the fast track to becoming a professional. There would be a roster of games given to us each week and all you had to do was say yay or nay due to work commitments. My belief was every game should have a proper qualified referee in attendance so there were more yays than nays.
Reffing a schoolboy game takes on even more importance as you are responsible for the safety of every player on the field. Having played the game you see things unravel in slow motion and can stop injuries from occurring. I used to step in often and would also attend the school practice if I saw something wrong. Often kids are taught incorrectly by a coach who has googled or read up on somehting and has no qualifications.
The scrum was the most dangerous for any junior rugby player as their bones are still growing and one can only imagine the forces on a neck if someone's techniques is wrong. This is what I did during school games as I took note of anything not right and followed up the following week.
I preferred refereeing the adult matches as that was more where the focus was as that was my chosen career path. I could never turn down school matches as I knew the importance and how I looked after each and every player which others somehow didn't.
The one match in particular was between two private schools I had never reffed before so had no clue what to expect. This game started off like any other match except there was a decent crowd in attendance. Most of my matches up until then would have maybe a thousand or so spectators depending on who was playing.
After abut 20 minutes a small group started heckling and offering a few expletives which were inappropriate being a school. Heckling can be fun in the right atmosphere if it is done with a bit of humor. Swearing however when there are females and kids present along with grandparents is crossing the line.
This continued until half time and I had a word with the school headmaster asking him to please fix this or I would. As a referee you are in charge of the match and wasn't sure how far I could take it but it was bugging me and probably bugging 99% of everyone else in attendance. If I was a parent watching I would have fixed it long ago.
The second half started and the swearing increased along with the heckling and just by chance the ball went out just where this group was standing. I told the players to take a break and had a quick chat with the main loud mouth and asked them to please leave the grounds as the game is suspended until they have left. Out of embarrassment and seeing I was dead serious they left to a round of applause never to be seen again.
I find it slightly crazy that people don't say something if something is in appropriate because they are worried what might happen. Literally 5 people were wrecking the pleasure of thousands that day and I am sure the same was happening with Bozz's nieces game. If something is wrong you fix it and don't keep quiet out of principle. The Headmaster at the rugby was like most teachers I know and guessed he would keep quiet.
I rarely get wound up over things and normally bad manners or people being inconsiderate get me going. I have rarely lost my temper with anyone and when I do it is for good reason and the actions are justified. I just wish these sorts of scenes at junior sporting events would vanish as they are sending the wrong message to the kids who are watching and playing.
The people doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved deeply with her group and @fyrstikken . Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. I cant prove she is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing it. I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome.
They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years.
What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth? https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism
It has been getting worse and worse. Especially in the US and I think a lot of it is behaviors that the parents have passed along to the students. I have seen at least two stories in the past year about athletes attacking officials. Then you have the parents attacking each other and coaches even players. All capped off by college coaches assaulting other college coaches. Some example they are proving to be!
Pure madness and have never seen it that bad as sports people don't behave like that. These are parents or fans who have never learned what sport is about and most likely never achieved anything when playing. They all need a good hiding which wouldn't be that bad as some will never learn from traditional methods. I think you guys call these types trailer trash.
Yes, that is one term!
Most people keep silent in these situations because we have been made to believe that minding our own business even when it means extreme discomfort to us is the right thing to do
Both my wife and I work in education so I can fully sympathise with you. Some parents behaviour is truly awful whether in that context or simply just when dropping off and picking up their kids every day. Surprised that you didn't get any backing from the teachers. This is not like it's a bit of a grey area, you don't use foul and abusive language while on school property. End of conversation!
I agree and was also a little surprised at the time that this was being allowed to happen on school property. Always a minority wrecking things for the majority.
It's important that spectators show maturity and respect when watching from the sidelines. Most importantly, when dealing with the younger generation, our actions and reactions should be checked because the young ones are watching and emulating.
This drives me nuts. We sometimes have parents who are coaching the kids from the sidelines too, which wrecks my head. Want to be a coach? Great, come join us, if not just encourage the kids and let them express themselves and leave any coaching to the actual coaches! 😀
I can relate with the inappropriateness that may happen at school sports level. I feel it's just these people allowing their emotions get the better of them. In this case, them realizing that their emotions was controlling them was the reason they were able to leave and the disappearance by them is an acknowledgement of their undoing.
For some, it may be pure attitudinal issue and if such was the case in that scenario up there, they'd have created scenes without caring that their children were affected.
I must commend you for taking such step. This is something we've also seen referees do to coaches, officials and players on the bench in football games.
