I'm assuming pretty much everyone here played little league. Bad calls by umps happened every game. It's freaking junior high and elementary kids..who do you expect is out there calling the games?
And after a bad call was made EVERYONE knew the call was wrong. Coaches, players (on both teams), and parents in the stands. That was part of the learning experience. Knowing that not everytime in life things turn out the way you want them or even fairly. These dads that curse and attack referees, other parents, and other kids are setting such a horrible example for their kids. Most of the kids of these psychos know it too. But what can they do?
Nothing will ever be as bad as this though,
