They can't stand to lose and especially can't stand to lose to people who they perceive to spend less on baseball and who's lives don't revolve around it.


And I hate to bring up politics but the entitled rich families often vote for republicans!


I think you're full of shit.
Bad behavior transcends politics.
The liberal parents from arlington and fairfax are no better than the conservative parents from fauqier or culpepper.

In fact, if I had to choose, I'd say the relatively conservative parents from culpepper are a good bit more polite than the liberal parents from fairfax.

Have we played the same team? One parent was red-carded.

This really burns the up.
They attribute those losses to bad luck.

You have the definition correct, I don't know if that's what op meant or not.

Ha. Yup. OP lambasts those "icky poor parents" but can't even understand the distinction between direct correlation vs. inverse correlation.

The worst sports were raised in Philly.

I find the worst parents are the ones who didn't grow up playing the sport. One of my kids played my sport, and I've gravitated toward other parents who also did because, as a group, we are the most chill. We understand the odds, and more importantly, we know what comes after sports, which is what matters more. 95% of those who go pro still have to get a regular job someday.

So your thesis is that poor people have different standards of behavior than rich people? And you decided to pick on the easiest type of poor to pick on (clearly you’ve never been to a basketball game in PG where things got heated).

Thanks for the insight Sally. 🙄

I think it's funny when people are offended by good parenting.

This is especially true of non diverse parents. Anyone else noticed this.
Sat in the bleachers today with parents from a school who were acting like total babies and when I went home and looked at where the school ranked, yet again hypothesis born out.

There are definitely poor schools with crazy parents but they aren't the only ones. Just certain parents are too poorly behaved no matter what school they land at. Its not a monolith and it's a stupid generalization
