Violence breeds violence

Every once in a while, parents of little kids playing sports get unruly and end up in fights with coaches, other parents, referees, &c. It’s, unfortunately, a part of kids’ sports.

And, it recently happened in Delaware, Action News reports:

Angry parents are blamed for ruining a pee wee wrestling match over the weekend in Delaware. The target of their anger was a referee.

For referee Darren Archangelo it a blow to the face and a blow to pee wee wrestling. There was a match between 9 year olds at a state championship on Sunday. When the dominant wrestler lost in the last ten seconds, Archangelo says the boy’s enraged mother flew out of the stands and grabbed the whistle around his neck. And Archangelo says that’s when another fan snapped after the match up.

Wow. A fight at a wrestling match. What a shocker. That kid’s mom totally should have just distracted the referee instead so her son could hit his opponent with a steel chair.
