So, these overzealous sports parents aren’t strictly an American thing? In a youth soccer game in Spain between Alaró and Collerense, a brawl between parents broke out over an on field play by one of the youth players. The fight started in the stands and spilled over out onto the field, according to Spanish newspaper El Confidencial.
This was a game involving 12 and 13 year old kids. Really? Is this where we’re at right now? Grown folks legitimately fighting over youth sports. We love to vilify certain segments of society, how do we characterize these types of people? I wonder if all the people who have been handwringing over a parent like LaVar Ball for doing too much have something to say about these parents? Still want to stick to that narrative of sports uniting people?
