Youth Sports, Adult Violence
The past year has seen a surge in adult violence at youth sporting events, including the beating death of a hockey coach by a player's father. What do you think?

"Why are these grown men hitting each other? They should be hitting the kid who blew the game."
Joan Weitz,

"This parental aggression is spreading into other youth activities, as well. I took a knee to the kidney when my daughter forgot her Christmas-pageant lines."

"Hey, if you'd seen that ref's call, we'd have been fighting over the shotgun."
Bob Bryson,

"Ask me that question again. Go ahead. I fuckin' dare you, you fucking piece of shit."
Dina Sargento,

"I blame the cheerleaders. They're the ones stirring people to violence with that 'Be aggressive! B-E aggressive!' cheer."

"What better way to impart to our children the important life lesson, 'Do as I say, not as I do'?"
