Get kicked out of the stands at his 3rd grade granddaughter’s basketball game for yelling at the refs. What a loser. 🤣

I've taken calls of out of control parents at little league baseball games to remove a parent that's cussing and screaming at umpire. Unbelievable.

He was chirping at the refs as soon as the game started. This is 3rd grade rec league basketball. He was warned, kept it up, and got tossed. He kept chirping as he stormed out of the gym.

No but there's a right way and a really stupid and bad example way of addressing bad umpiring of THIRD GRADERS.
On a completely different subject you brought up, no I wouldn't let someone commit an occupied burglary especially not at my residence.

The right way is to stfu. If officiating needs to be addressed, it is for the coach to address. Also, officiating at a rec league game of nine year old kids never needs to be addressed.

Too funny and really sad. Travel baseball is the WORST hands down. Watched a relative play for a while and the parents are unbelievable. I'm not an "everybody gets a trophy supporter" At 9 years old it should be about having fun and learning the game.

The kids are there to have fun. Too bad the adults will find a way to ruin that.

We'd beat the bejeezus out of each other for 60-90 minutes. After the games it was party time. Sportsmanship as you say is LOST. Now these knuckleheads want to brawl because they lost or whatever. You aren't playing for the MLB world series, and that doesn't even get to the level on this nonsense. Coaches/refs being shot, parents fighting, kids blindsiding others. Ridiculous. Even if the officiating is garbage, it teaches you something. Life isn't gonna be fair and you have to overcome the hurdles. Played plenty of games where it sure seemed to be 7 on 5, 13 on 11, 18 on 11. We'd be pissed about calls, never going to kill someone over it. Get over it, stuff happens. In the end, it's nothing but a game that your life doesn't depend on. Plenty of lost perspective.

Not to mention the ump is probably a 15 or 16 year old kid who's just doing the best he can, because he's the only one they can find to do that miserable job.

It was actually 2 adults, a guy probably in his 40s, and a guy probably in his 50s. But yes, I've seen kids who were refs get horribly abused by allegedly grown adults. My older daughter's boyfriend quit being a youth soccer ref for that reason. Fortunately, I and others have stepped in at times and told these loudmouths to pipe down. My brother in law (federal LEO) once had to threaten to arrest a man at my nephew's 3rd grade CYO basketball game because the ref kicked the guy out, and the guy refused to leave.

At this level, they let a lot of things go because the kids are gorky and awkward and just starting to learn the game. Traveling and double-dribbling are rarely called, and only if they're just too excessive to ignore. There's no 3 second violation. They shoot free throws from 5 feet instead of 10. If they called everything at this age, the kids would not get to play because the game would constantly be stopped. As the kids get older, enforcement of the rules tightens up.
This idiot was upset about a jump ball call. Once the jump ball to start the game occurs, the possession arrow is set so that the next jump ball situation goes to the team that did not win the opening tip. From that point on, the possession arrow flips from one team to another with every jump ball situation. This moron missed a previous jump ball call in which the ball was correctly given to his granddaughter's team. When the next one occurred, the possession arrow was pointing correctly in the direction of the other team. He lost his [censored] because he thought it shoud've been his granddaughter's team's ball. That was what it took for him to embarrass himself and his family and make his granddaughter cry in front of a gym full of people.
Like I said initially, what a loser.
