And there are people woho don't understand why I don't work boys' baseball games any more.  I won't say stuff like this never happens in softball, but I started doing SB after a few boys games I worked almost broke down like this, and I haven't had anywhere even close to those issues.

Who is it that said youth sports would be better if the parents were kept away from the games?

That's why I don't officiate youth sports.
