Our conference teams have been known over the years to produce some talented teams and great competition. With that builds rivalries and some exciting games to watch. But, at the end of the day these 7th-12th grade players are kids. Some behavior I’ve witnessed the past few years from some people and areas have been absolutely embarrassing and downright uncalled for. One area in particular was on full display last night at a JUNIOR HIGH game, and was the worst I’d seen in quite sometime(youth to professional). Administration needs to crack down on this.
Nothing wrong cheering for a team, a little crowd chanting back and forth is fine. But the language, screaming at players and cheering when an opposing player is injured is uncalled for and should never have a place!

It's brutal. Kids don't change, but you better believe the parents have changed in the last 20 or so years. Parents who couldn't tell you 11 guys are on the field complaining about everything. It's the reason a lot of young people are choosing to not go into the profession. Why would you spend more time with other people's kids than your own and get treated like crap.

I agree Parents have become complete Buffoons, so quick to point out other Kids faults and to complain about those in charge, while ignoring their own childs behavior and even running circles to condone that behavior as a excuse.
I have also noticed a complete loss of Professionalism as well in those running the show in a lot of employment establishments. At my place of work the new hires are often so cuddled and entitled coming out of College it's mind boggling. They feel they are smarter, wiser and better educated than those who have the same credentials but have 30 years experience. Of course that is IMO the fault of parents and the whole KinderCare to University system and it leaking into all aspects of employment.

it would be great if parents actually knew the rules before they opened their mouths to look like idiots. case in point, in 8th grade MG vs. WS game. Willow did a textbook horecollar tackle on our RB. And by textbook i mean the vidoe could be used as a training video of what a horsecollar tackle looked like. and their fans booed and cried, 1 dad was screaming "thats football" all I could do was laugh hyterically. and they were called for at least 5 or 6 holding calls(mg has some big lineman) so a few of the undersized kids were doing what they could to keep us out of the backfield. same scenario.

A friend from Ava has told me about a 10 yr old mighty mite kid (which, by the way this is the worst groups of parents to deal with) was being made fun of and called horrific names and cusswords by parents and a coach from Springfield because he is a big kid. He just happens to be as tall as some adults (have a nephew who was that way and it does happen) and 200 lbs. It broke his morale and has wanted to quit the team. Several kids and parents surrounded the boy after a game or practice to let him know he's supported. I don't care who or what town, even if it's a town of an arch rival. I would NOT condone any parent, coach, so called adult EVER do a kid this way. That would open up a whole side of me that very few have actually ever seen. Crap like this drives me nuts. It's also causing a decline in kids wanting to do anything fun or active (besides the electronics and all the stuff we normally address)

You should try calling plays at a JH football game!! "Throw the ball coach!!" When there kid can't hit water if he fell out of a boat.
