Happened again this past weekend. Back to back weekends at the YMCA with a parent/referee scuffle. Same refs but different school this time. There is plenty of video out there on social media for people to make their own judgment. Craziness. This kind of thing should never be happening.

Parents are out of control. They want little Johnny or Jenny to be the superstar and nobody is gonna get in the way.

 This says it all, just glad weapons weren't involved...    "Parents make it all about themselves,? Jackson said. ?You have to control and deal with your emotions.?

They should ban the parents from future games. I also hope that the charges after the first time hold up. Parents need to be taught a lesson. Hate it for the kids.
