[quote=Anonymous]As for basketball games, I was at a middle school basketball game this year between Potomac and my son’s school, being played on that side gym (they had a curtain drawn because there was another game going on the main gym). There were Potomac students standing above on the track, not sure how old they were, yelling stuff at 12-13 year old kids. It was so loud in there I’m not even sure the players heard it but parents did. Rude stuff. No teachers, faculty, admin to tell them to stop or go wherever it is they should have been.

Then there were the parents. In that side gym there are only two sets of tiny bleachers in 2 corners so you’re forced to all sit together. The parents were typical sports parents. Yelling, screaming at refs, just being obnoxious. And Potomac won, by a healthy amount.

So acting like Potomac students and parents at basketball games are so pure when they’re really like all the other type A hyper competitive parents is just disingenuous. This was not a Flint Hill game. This was a middle school boys game. Stakes were low. Potomac parents needed some sedatives and their students needed reminding about sportsmanship. There are parents and kids like this at every school I’m afraid. [/quote]
